Do you sometimes have sleepless nights? Sometimes I just can NOT sleep! I just don't know why, because I close my teddy bead eyes, but no sleepiness effect will cause me to fall asleep! Even counting sheep doesn't help, because Sally, Simon and Sandra the Shepherd teddies are away overseas and I miss chatting to them on my mobile phone! When I think of sheep, I think of them! That makes me miss them more! They are out of mobile phone contact! They are in a teddy " phone black spot"! Little lambs are very cute though! My shepherd friends told me to never, ever give them long life milk though . They don't like that type of milk! It is because one day the shepherd teddies were with their sheep and a Devondale truck was passing by on the road. A carton fell off and landed on little Lilian the lamb's big toe! It was sooooo painful for her! And...she got a black bruised toe as a result! From then on, the lambs decided to boycott long life milk as a protest! I just thought that you may need to be aware of the circumstances as to why no sheep drinks long life milk!  

  Anyway, I couldn't sleep so I decided to think instead about colourful rainbows! They are very pretty to think about! I then started to think about some of my favourite things that are a variety of  colours! I would like to share what I was thinking about with you, because you can't read my mind! This means I have to write it down! Yellow means sunshine! Often I sneak out of the Kiosk and do a waltz in the Strathalan grounds under the sunny skies! Green is Freddo frogs! Sorry Kermit! I know that you have broken off your relationship with Miss Piggy, and now I have caused you further hurt by saying that I enjoy eating chocolate frogs but...it is not easy being green, just like you sang about in the Muppets movie! Red means big, big hearts! ❤️❤️ Love is eternal! It helps, comforts, encourages and sustains through whatever each day by day holds! Blue reminds me of raindrops! They are so very, very pretty when you look at colourful flowers mirrored in them! Orange and pink remind me of lovely sunrises and sunsets that I look at through the Kiosk windows. Life is sooooo colourfully nice!  

Well, I had best say goodnight now! Hmmm... Please ignore that if you are reading this and it is morning time! Or perhaps go back to your bed and have a longer sleep in. Or if it is afternoon, then you can have an afternoon nap. But...be aware that  if you sleep too long you will miss out on having a piece of fruitcake for morning or afternoon tea! ( I just like the idea that you may be eating fruitcake! ) ( Also, did you know that the Kiosk sells fruit cake? Yes! We do! )

  Until next time,

      Have a restful sleep! Don't count sheep! 

            Your friend.
