All New Night Owls 🦉🌙 ☕️

Morning everyone. Hope you're sleeping. I slept quite a long time for me, but woke around 4. Tried to fool myself into dropping off again, but got up in the end and .... set the house alarm off! Dashed to switch it off and now hoping there aren't too many local night owls awake because of me.

Oh no! I fell asleep late yesterday afternoon. Woke up to watch a programme at 8 but fell asleep again till 4 am. Wonder if someone’s house alarm woke me up lol! Anyways, got up and started on the decluttering. Have found that Morris dancing music is great to spring clean to if you substitute dusters for hankies! I’m worried that playing music loud is disturbing my neighbours. My dog is having another sleep over and I can’t play loud music when she’s here: she sleeps on the sofa and likes her beauty sleep. As a whippet that means 23 hours a day.I don’t know how to change my sleep pattern. If I don’t get enough sleep I can’t function and tiredness makes me crave carbohydrates and eat a lot. Even the relaxation tapes etc aren’t getting me back to sleep. I’m house sitting at my daughters soon and hope I can get into a normal sleep pattern. I’ve always been semi nocturnal though, much as I’d love to wake up and see the sun rise.

Some neighbours didn't hear the police helicopter the other night so I might have got away with it!

MayBee70 - I think the only way I get to see the sunrise I'd if I'm already awake.
Hope everyone is asleep. 💤

I’ve just woken up! I did nod off watching tv last night. Have told the do she’s not having breakfast or she’ll expect it at 5 every morning!

Mine just expects a walk, but I can’t function without my first cup of tea.

I also refuse to go out until it is light.

Well I’m not. We have a large aeroplane practising night landings on the beach near by. Shakes the house. Mind you DH is fast asleep

Morning NotSpaghetti. Hope you're not awake because you're unwell or worried.

Not noticed the sunrise, but the sunsets have been spectacular recently. Did you see them?

There's been bright moonlight all night, but it's not as cold as it has been these last few nights.

Morning all. MrsKen33 I'm trying to imagine what that sounds like! Landing on the beach? You won't be the only one awake I guess.

Walking in the woods by me the other day we met a young woman who says she walks her dog there in the dark before she goes on her early shift. I couldn't stop myself urging her not to. I walk with my neighbours sometimes just so one of them is not alone.

Morning Owls
I have always wanted to live by the sea, Mrs Ken. Instead I have spent the majority of my life in the fens.
We use to have 2 bases nearby but they closed down years ago so very quiet here now.
Finn is set in his ways, so we go out at around 7.00am each morning. He also won't go with anyone else but me.

The good thing is when I woke up I remembered that there was a programme about The Cure on Sky Arts. I missed the first half but caught the second.

I've been watching the final episode of a Korean series on Netflix and was so disappointed I was saying Really? That's it? That's the end? That is it? Not what I expected at all! I guess it's more realistic that not all stories end happily.

Very few series have satisfying endings. The English and Peaky Blinders being the exception imo. I haven’t got round to watching Breaking Bad yet though.

Thanks MayBee70 no, all fine, I was just awake.
By the time I'd decided to say hello on here I must have been ready to drop off again! Already morning now!

Good morning to any owls out there. Slept for about 4 hours so when I woke for the bathroom there was no settling down. I did try briefly, but once the thoughts start up, there's no more sleeping for me.

I'm not exactly distressed going through my ex's belongings and indeed some which are mine, but it's tiring, I will be glad when it's all done and on the market. Discovered a leak under the kitchen sink yesterday and had to get a plumber to go Monday. I'm having a day off today.

Good morning all. I've been up all night with Ivy and her tummy, she's been in and out to the garden all night. Ginny I'm sure you are exhausted, packing up a house is a lot of work. I used to renovate a house, pack up after 1-2 years and do up another. The last time I moved was 3 years ago and I'll never do it again. Hope you are feeling better Maya and Covid free.

I assume Ivy is a dog?

MayBee70!!!!!!

Alioop my niece who is helping me a lot has done what you've done- buying, gutting and selling after two or three years to do the same again. Each time they've gone more upmarket. I'm benefitting a lot from her experience now.

Maya1 Hope you've slept and that the covid symptoms are less severe now. Also that your DH is showing further signs of improvement.

My dog get a bad tum every now and again. Strikes out of the blue and it’s exhausting. The first time it happened I phoned the vet and asked for an appointment for the following day. The receptionist insisted that I brought her in that day and got angry when I said I couldn’t because not only was I not safe to drive having had no sleep but my doors and windows had been painted and I couldn’t leave the house unlocked. I changed vets after that. I always keep pro kolin in stock and gastrointestinal food. What makes it worse is that she doesn’t like using her patch of the garden when it happens and gets distressed about it. It happened again this week. No change if diet etc. Then it won’t happen again for months and months.

MayBee I'm like you and always have some Pro Kolin so I'm hoping it helps soon as she takes a lot of meds for epilepsy and her kidneys and I'm worried they aren't getting in her system. I think I'm in for another sleepless night ahead.
That's great Ginny, your niece will be a pro at house clearing by the sounds of it. I worked my way up the property ladder too, but I love where I am now and what I've done to my home so I'm happy to stay in this one. I don't think I've another refurb in me now either 😁

Good morning Owls. I've been awake for some time but managed to lie for a while just resting. Now my brain is switched on to a spelling bee and I've almost completed it.

Hope you are all sleeping, but if you're awake that you're not feeling unwell or stressing.

I took a day off from house clearing yesterday, but must go back later today. I've got a workman starting there tomorrow and must have at least the back bedroom completely clear for decorating.

Well, I was sleeping really well till just now but the dog wanted to go out. I think I’ll get back to sleep easily, though. I’m so tired….

Only just going to try to sleep now as I felt unsettled last night. Enjoyed the film Toscana on Netflix and now feel I may fall sleep. I certainly need to sleep. Goodnight any owls out there. x
