An Early Start To The Season.

 Working with the daylight.

It is that time of the year again. The sun's up nice and early and with it our time tables have changed. Bob works outside and it is much better to start early and to finish before the sun can cause too much fatigue and damage.

Now in May the first hour has been put back. More time shifts from June, but at the moment one hour suffices. So this morning Bob left for work at a quarter past six. Nice and early. Of course we got up much earlier, in fact at four leaving us enough time to shake out the cobwebs with a few cups of coffee and a sedate start to the day.

Last night Bob was very good and went to bed an hour earlier. He is getting more disciplined the older he gets! I, on the other hand had a yearning to watch the Miami Grand Prix and thus had to stay up later. Goodness but I don't like these late starting times. Half past nine in the evening our time meant that I had to valiantly fight sleep for two hours in order to see the race.

Somehow I made it to the start of the race but promptly fell asleep in lap 10 only to awaken again at the end of the race. What a silly thing of me to do. Clearly I should have known better and realized that there is hardly a night where I see anything on the telly past eight o'clock. Fancy me wanting to watch this Grand Prix!!!

Oh yes, this morning wasn't easy for me but after a nice cup of coffee the day got off to a great start and the early season too. I had forgotten how nice it is to do everything an hour or two earlier. It will take me a few days to get used to an earlier supper routine, but what can one do but join the ' early bird specialists'  and have supper long before the sun sets...
