Dear Anne-Lise, what a fine Senryu. I know times are difficult to sleep. Best not to eat or drink after 5.30pm. Best for a win.

A hope for rest, some nights don't cooperate. The picture of sheep is cute. Good luck with the contest.

I find as you get older, having a good night's sleep is difficult sometimes. Not even the sheep help lol. Good luck in the contest Anne-Lise. Tom
