Good Morning Everyone,
Its light but dry just before Sun up here in Brackley .
My movements today will be governed by the weather ,despite having water with me , the conditions have got to much for me.
Health OK,
I will watch the Tour De France even there they have relaxed rules as to riders taking drinks and other fluids .
Take Care,
Mick

I'm amazed at the number of people on here who are up and writing SO very very early.

Surely 7:00am is early enough?
But 5:00am?!!

(Maybe I think like that because I've always prefered a long afternoon and evening than an early and long morning.

Yes - I think we owls need to continue this happy thread into the afternoon and evening!

Each one to their own. Personally, I don’t think there are enough larks around. I have to wait hours for anyone to rouse themselves to do anything!

The thing about being up at sparrowfart, round the supermarket, beds stripped and washing hung out all before 7 o clock - what on earth is left for the rest of the day?
I had enough of early starts in my working life or when the children were tiny, so I feel I have earned a leisurely start to my day .
But as you say - each to their own.

I’m usually posting between 7 & 8, but usually check again later to see what or who I’ve missed! I may wake up at 5.00 but don’t get up until later and rarely do anything productive until 9.00.

Both my dad and my DH were always up early, I think I’m rebelling against the forced early starts when I was young!
