Is that nobody is ever in when I log in. I suppose it is the fact that I live in the UK but it was 20.39 US time when I logged but everybody must have been practising. Is there a good time to log in to chat when people are in?? 
About 9 to 11 p.m eastern standard time is a pretty good time to get people. I’m surprised you didn’t get anyone then. I don’t know the time difference, so hopefully you can figure out when that is for GMT!!! It’s 8:42 pm now, maybe that will help.

Selkie,
Do keep trying! Even much later than the times Robin posted there are usually people chatting…

Peoples did come in but by 2.am UK time the matchsticks had fallen out of my eyelids. 
I’ll try again another night.
Zoob and Claudine are on in the mornings, sometimes (that would be morning my time GMT-6, early afternoon yours). I’m there often, too, sometimes just lurking. Come on and hang a while and see what happens! We want you to have fun!!!

Selkie, sometimes those of us in radically different time zones can be found chatting at other times. It’s worth watching out at times that suit you. A couple of days ago a few of us were chatting in the early morning (breakfast time) Eastern American time which was late evening here and in Singapore. Even at that time we had American company.
In general though, we’re spread far and wide and it’s hard to coordinate for chat, but easy to coordinate whistle buying consortiums.
