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...

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?

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?

Surprisingly bitey, these Aussies.

5.10am
5.10am. Jeeeeeeeeesus. I'm sure we've had this discussion before but that's the night time!

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...

I'd gathered you don't like it much. What is it exactly that you do?

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?

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.
