    Seems to start getting light around 4.45am (I'm only awakeish due to Norpusses bouncing about the place).

      Sorry 04:45 is not day, it's still bedtime for me. Don't know how you do it MP.

        @ Nor, I lock mine in the conservatory now and forget what a pain they can be.

        @ AP: I am starting to struggle recently, I must admit!

                Ah, thank you! It better had, because between the lack of sleep, abuse from the ex and stress at work - I am close to battering someone to death with a spoon.

                  Found myself going to bed very late at night, look outside at 21:00 it looks like 17:00
                  This morning woke up and the sun was shinning brightly, thought I had over slept, look like 10:00, it was only 7:00.

                  How do the other up north CUK's handle these long long days.
                  I was working one place, living in Helsinki, I went and bought some black card from an art suppliers and blocked the windows.

                  It was a new apartment block and they didn't have curtains.

                      Not unless they involve actual death, no.
