The midnight cuppa

Went to bed at 9.30pm and woke at midnight, just me here tonight so I can do as I please so it’s tea and toast and a scroll.

this is becoming a bit of a habit waking up for a cuppa, a scroll, and then going back to bed, am I the only one?

Awake too. Not unusual for me. Just listening to the radio which in all likelihood I will fall asleep to.
Oddly enough, I will have a 'I'm tired window' of about 30 minutes but I often just don't fall asleep then. I don't even get grumpy if I don't get a lot of sleep 🤷

It's been a while @Themidnightcuppa
How have you and Dave been?

Themidnightcuppa · 13/10/2026 18:35

We are good thank you @Mumtobabyhavoc

I rarely wake up in the middle of the night. My life has turned spectacularly busy with work so going to sleep isn’t as difficult as it was. Dave had a vet checkup in August and was considered to be back to very good fitness. (Unlike me. Ha ha)

Hope all is well with you and the little havocs? 💐💐💐

So nice to read your update Cuppa. 🙂💛

Havoc started school and Baby and I are keeping busy in-between school runs.

Weather has turned quite chilly, 8c overnight, but yesterday was gorgeous for our Thanksgiving holiday. 🤗

Woke up at midnight yearning for a cuppa but then sat and drank it whilst throwing all the old pens in the desk drawer away.

Dave gave me a brief look and carried on snoring.

Hope you get a decent sleep. I'm heading off now.

It’s almost 1am here and still wide awake. This is a huge week, two years on Friday since we lost our beautiful girl. She’s been on my mind all day now it’s November.

@LoudPlumDog I'm so sorry.
