I’m with you on this one. The only difference I’ve found is that when I don’t drink I do sleep better. I’m not drinking at the moment and although I’m not going to put a date on how long that lasts, I don’t actually feel like it at the moment. Chocolate, however. That’s a different matter. If I could grow chocolate I’d probably have three polycrubs on the go

Same with chocolate and I'd also grow tea and red wine grapes!!

Sleep is a weak point for me.

And me. I think as we become peri menopausal, menopausal and post menopausal, our quality of sleep deteriorates. So thats it for adult sleep, basically 🙈

That’s so true!!! They are such bed hoggers!

Pets!! If we let Kiki roam free I’d get no sleep - she’d be on the bed and stretching out all the time. I’d need to upgrade our bed to a king or super king!

There is a known law of the universe that however large your bed, if you have a cat or dog on it with you it will shrink to the six inch strip around the edge of the mattress which you will have to cling to for dear life whilst said pet luxuriates in the centre

Cats and dogs that bounce on the bed don’t help either! Our two cats went through a phase of using the duvet to crawl up onto the bed then bouncing over both of us like they were on pogo sticks to tell us they were hungry and it was time for breakfast. So restful

It sounds wonderful. Although the lack of wine is worrying.

I do make it scarier than it is! There is a shop in our island & by all accounts, it should be fairly safe for Erik to head to it tomorrow to get us some wine! PHEW 😂

You had me worried there. Maybe one of your projects should be home brewing 😂

Hmmm not sure about home brew wine tbh! We did have a batch of home brew beer but we’ve only one left & it’s too cold to do more at the mo.

That's good! It's not completely desperate but we were blindsided by the snow. I was so happy that my farmer neighbour cleared the road on the Saturday morning so I could get to the shop for milk & yoghurt!
