last gran standing

They seem to be Rosannie. I've been up since 5 but only just logged in to see if any other larks are up and about. Surely I'm not the only one?

I'm here Gagagran and often am but rarely post before about 7:30. I usually "kindle " until then.

Woke an hour ago but have been putting washing on, making coffee, trying to identify a mos...

Morning, folks!

moss

Did you manage it bags? I love cushions of moss and am aware that there are lots of varieties but the only one I could identify is sphagnum moss!

I'm not sure, gaga, but I think I'm a lot closer than I was yesterday. I'm going to consult another book later and if that doesn't help, I've a bryologist lined up to whom I can send a sample.

I arrived about 6.15 this morning. I often post after midnight as I lay in bed with my Kindle before going to sleep

Good Morning Vietnam UK! Gransnet is open all hours. (How I loved Ronny Barker!) I post at all sorts of hours that must seem very strange to UK Gransnetters (the majority) because I live in New Zealand – for those who don't know, that's a small group of relatively small islands on the edge of the world. When I lived in the UK, I also posted at odd hours because I don't sleep very well.

It's happening again! Using AIBU! (Yes, I know it doesn't really matter)

Morning! GN is "open all hours" as it is on t'internet.

I have a business conference call at 9 a.m. and will be in the "bed-office" - luckily it's not on Skype!

And I thought this was going to be a thread about who could stay alive the longest! [disappointed]

Well whoever it is jingle they won't be able to boast about it to the rest of us!!

Surely people don't boast on here!
It's very interesting to see such a variety of posting 'habits'.

jingle/Grannyeggs !

Some nights I have a problem sleeping so come down and make some toast and tea and go online.
On another forum that I belong to there used to be someone (male) who was an abrasive character, and worked in the antipodes so came online at about 2am and that was rather awkward.
That forum has a facility that you could see who else was online. I don't think Gransnet has that. Otherwise you could have some cosy chats

ps perhaps we should have an insomniacs thread.

We used to have a thread specifically for 'night owls'. Being up in the night often with 'Restless leg', I was a regular contributor, along with other insomniacs and a variety of Gransnetters from other continents. Thanks to great medication I am no longer wandering around in the middle of the night but really valued the opportunity to chat when I needed it.

Perhaps time to start another 'Out of Hours' Thread?

X posts, Tricia

An all night thread would be good for all those of us who don't sleep well. Sometimes you just want to know that there is someone else out there!

I would have been posting at 2.30 am last night if the police helicopter had stayed around much longer. No chance of sleep with that about. And I have just read the perimenopause info... would explain a few things.

I was up at fivish but didn't want to post until mick had called the reveille. By then I'd spilt my coffe and shampooed the bit of the carpet.

Good idea, an out of hours thread! I often wander at night due to sleeplessness. It would be good to share.

Aha! Beat you all! It's going on for 3 am now and I'm just about thinking about bed. It is lovely at this time though, all quiet, I love it. Saying that I do try to sleep earlier but it won't happen. I only get about 5 hours when I do sleep so going to bed now, I will still be up for about half 8.

Night night (maybe) x

Been awake since 1.30, so have had 2 hours sleep so far, tonight. Last night wasn't much better, but no doubt will catch up as the week goes on.
All fears and worries magnify once the wee small hours arrive.......
