I saw my first flower shoots of the spring a few days ago.
My libido is well on its way to being unleashed.

Yep yep yep
this sounds like a euphemism, but I've got daffodils coming up in my garden. I'm bored of winter, I want it to be spring now.

It's now light enough around 5pm for me to get home after work and go out for my 5-mile circuit walk before it gets dark.
Bring on the miles!

It's now light enough in the mornings
for me to be able to drag myself out of bed before 8:30. I've even been on time for work in the last week or so.

Yours was more impressive, I must say...
(berk, Mon 31 Jan 2011, 14:32, Reply)

I was amazed to see it getting pretty light at 7am, this means my walk to work will be punctuated by singing birds.
I've not been a slave to the alarm clock for a whole ten days. This morning's 5.10am wakeup was a bit of a bitch.

Did Poppet get away OK?

( girlinthehole, Mon 31 Jan 2011, 14:36, Reply)

Yup, pretty smoothly I think.
She's still got almost 24 hours until she gets home, I don't envy her. I've almost sloped off to bed three times since I got in.

I think she meant
did Poppet escape the manacles?

5.10am
5.10am. Jeeeeeeeeesus. I'm sure we've had this discussion before but that's the night time!
(berk, Mon 31 Jan 2011, 14:43, Reply)

Well yeah, it is.
That was to get to Heathrow for Poppet's check-in for her flight. Tomorrow morning I get to lie-in to 5.50am.

That's not really a vast improvement.
Sorry.

I'm working on getting out of this job, I can't do another winter of dark walks to work.
Trouble is, it's great in the summer as finishing at three means I've got almost seven hours of daylight left after work. It's utter shit in the winter though. Well, it's utter shit all the time...

Exactly this.

Doesn't sound desperately fulfilling, it's true
but it's infinitely preferable to do a shit job for a wage than to sit on your arse and do nothing.
Probably belongs in the thread up, but what would you be doing instead, if you could?
(berk, Mon 31 Jan 2011, 15:18, Reply)

Oops, got distracted.
Probably walling/fencing/hedging/boundary maintenance but that's a few courses and a good deal of investment away yet. I did think about starting a sandwich/lunch van for the town, I don't think there is one and I reckon there's a market for it. I fucking love sandwiches. Edit: other thread.

"And here, in the heart of the Bucks countryside, we find the roosting site of a Noel.
Come spring, and the melting of the winter frost, various signals indicate that the Noel is entering its mating season. We can see how this specimen is shedding his winter coat, but preparing himself to search for a mate. The Noel is a solitary creature, known to roam in seemingly aimless fashion across the hills and dales surrounding his habitat in search of a female, whom he may attempt to club over the head with a spare walking boot, or if locality permits, trap beneath a concrete cow, before dragging her back to his roost.

His catch rendered unconscious, the Noel checks his surroundings before shouldering the female. He must remain alert for another lone scavenger which will also be drawn to the female's scent: the Chompy."

And I always thought I had such sexy shoulders...

Oh God! man shoulders.
One of the best bits of a guy. It's funny what were hardwired to admire in the opposite sex.

I feel the same. My mrs doesn't mind fortunately, and I don't mind having a hairy chest, but the back is just horrible.
