I couldn't sleep this morning, so got up just after 5am; cups of tea and some work on the forum, Scrabble, etc kept me busy. I find my mind much clearer first thing, and any problems or worries from last night seem to recede and become surmountable. A night's sleep works wonders, and I'm lucky (in a way) that I can do on 4 - 5 hours or so most nights. My bedtime varies, not being a creature of habit lol
I sit hear listening to that sound that is unique to almost being able to hear the radio but not quite - unique to early mornings when the radio is in another room; the traffice is beginning outside - tractors and lorries (albeit few) at this time of day, it's still pitch black outdoors and raining. Mentally planning my day too, although the freshness of morning may make me a bit optimistic on that front lol
So - you? Early bird or not?

it is good to hear you sounding optomistic ((h))
ReplyDeletei never used to be one for early mornings, even this time last year.perhaps it comes with age, as now i find myself up before seven even on these cold dark mornings, besides it gives extra time to get blogs and forums done over a cupof tea before tackling the house :)
Yes, I'm definitely an early bird. During the week I get up at 5.45am so that I've got time to get washed, dressed, breakfasted and tend the hens (down at the allotments) before I catch the 7.10 train to work. Even while I was on holiday I got up at 8am.
ReplyDeleteAt weekends we like to get out early with the dog...and often feel its the best part of the day. So peaceful.
I never used to be an early bird, but seem to get up earlier nowadays, although not before 6:30! I love the peacefulness of the house when everyone else is asleep. Unlike you I still need my 8 hours of sleep.

Just want to thank you for such a brilliant blog, it truly makes a fun and interesting read! Being only just turning 18, I find it really cool that I've been able to relate to an adult to such a level. Your recipes are great, love most of your sections really. Thanks again!
