Showering in the dark
Huge thrill this morning. Managed to take my morning shower without the bathroom light on.
“Pray, why?” you may ask. “Is this some new eroto-luminance perversion popular with the allotmenteering classes?”
Not exactly. It’s one of my personal winter foibles. You see, the day I can shower at 7am without artificial light is the day I know the sun is rising significantly earlier.
I’ve tried a few times over the last three weeks. Mostly with cartoon results – stubbed toes, histrionic slips with wild, flailing arms. I almost gave up last Tuesday when I spent 5 mins in pitch blackness trying to work up a lather with the soapdish.
But today, I managed it. Only shaving was a serious challenge: I look like Sweeney Todd’s practice dummy.
Still, the point is made: Spring’s bloody close.
Yes, spring is on it’s way, I keep seeing little signs in the garden. I wish it would hurry up though.

I measure the seasons by the hens’ going to bed time. Currently 4.45pm.
Before Christmas they went to bed at 3.15pm!
For one dreadful moment I feared a film of the morning ablutions…
Keep smiling!

Great idea Celia. The video camera comes to the bathroom tomorrow morning!

I judge it the other way; how difficult is it lock my shed door of an evening. Last night I managed it with smashing my head off anything!

Oh no, I don’t think we need the video.
