Woke up just before my alarm, dozed while I waited for it to tell me to get up and the next thing I knew it was two hours later. One of the things I've been fighting against these last few months has been this sliding of my day/night rhythms out of synchronisation with everyone else's world, it's been getting more difficult lately and it's not helped by the blue cast half light of the last few days. Strange how quickly we've gone from bright summer like days to this winter gloom, it bleaches the landscape into dark black browns and pale yellow greens, a winter landscape.
