Hi, guys!

This is probably uninteresting to most of you but there is the most amazing clear sky tonight over Camberwick Green! Perfect conditions for the meteor shower which will peak on Monday night!

Just saying ... !

MrsBottesini · 11/08/2013 00:49

oooh I'm off out to look if there is any such stuff round here. Will be in the north east from tomorrow and so far away from everywhere that we are guaranteed no light pollution if we can get a nice clear sky. Must watch! (interesting how us night owls love the night sky too Wink)

Anyone still awake?

Minimammoth · 11/08/2013 02:43

Nope, ah well valerian tea, smelling next doors bonfire, not venturing out in Jamie's to look at stars. It's quiet, apart from the slurping.

themidwife · 11/08/2013 12:55

I hope I haven't been bleeped, I left London for a disastrous sojourn which became unexpectedly lengthy. I didn't die from the earth.
How are we all?

cafecito · 12/08/2013 00:26

Okay! good advice themidwife re bicarb. DS gets all itchy and lumpy (mini, is it YOU) Grin in hot weather, has taken to sleeping in pants at most.

I was up all last night due to an 'asthma attack' from previously non-asthmatic person which I think was caused by allergy, lots of wheezing followed by 'you're supposed to know what to do, you're trying to kill me I am telling on you' Hmm aside from an inhaler, maybe antihistamine, or a shot of adrenaline, not sure what I can make in the kitchen cupboard

day ended with my mother screaming at me in a city centre in public about how I am so disappointing, DS sobbing, etc etc. I realise my relationship with my ex P was an exact mirror of my relationship with my mother (controlling alcoholic psychopath) and I think for my sanity and for DS I will be going no contact. After all if not in her life, how can I be ruining her life Confused

big sigh

cafecito · 12/08/2013 00:34

no meteors here just a sort of murky hazy soot- nice!

how is everyone?

mini, not sure, would suggest 3 weeks

MrsBottesini · 12/08/2013 00:43

blimey cafe Sad hugs...

sky here awesome. middle of nowhere Wink

cafecito · 12/08/2013 00:50

I wonder what the sky is like in hippy hills!

I ended up in tears every day (!) secretly of course, and on the way back I was plotting my own demise Shock I felt that terrible - but then the thought of them getting DS Shock Shock or ex P getting DS, meant I came to my senses after an hour or so of serious contemplation. argh. so toxic. won't go into details, but it's all unbelieeevable

how are you MrsBottesini!? I spy a nocturnal chat thread - I think ''sootikins'' must have Confused everyone Grin

jynier · 12/08/2013 02:36

Am also sending hugs to cafe! Hope that you're feeling better now - we're all with you!!!

Just tried to add a smiley face; don't know how it works!

Smile
jynier · 12/08/2013 02:38

Good grief! My very first emoticon, cafe!

Very best wishes to everyone on here Smile Smile Smile

jynier · 12/08/2013 02:49

Crikey! Will now try to get to grips with the new mobile 'phone; have had it for several months and have never used it!

Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile

Not overdoing my latest grasp of modern technology, am I?

cafecito · 12/08/2013 03:40

my emoticon usage is catching - perhaps douse it with sandy earth!

hello jynier! thanks. I am awake, dunking chocolate biscuits in my tea and thinking about buying bikes. not doing very much work. arh

jynier · 12/08/2013 03:53

Hiya, cafe!

Will not be on here for very long; hope that life is not wearing you down too much! Best wishes to you and your DS from me and my burning leg!

Off outside now to (hopefully) see some meteors!

themidwife · 12/08/2013 08:05

Oh Cafe - I'm so sorry you had a bad time! I'm on the Stately Homes thread (about toxic parents) Please join us as there are some amazingly supportive people there who will empathise completely.

I know we don't really "know" you in RL Cafe but I for one wish I did! You are funny, caring, witty, clever & we adore you!

Going no or low contact with has freed me from the manipulative people in my life & although it was scary it is like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders!

(I didn't notice the sky I'm afraid - I'm in a completely exhausted fog)
