Late again

Today I had my first ever warning about time keeping - my first ever in all the years that I've worked (naturally I don't count the times when I was unemployed or a mature student).

My boss suggested I try and get an earlier bus...I could do but earlier buses usually get stuck in traffic along the A4, just before Junction 2.

However, when I think about it, it isn't easy to get up in the morning nowadays. I've changed from being a lark to an owl and it's showing.

I may be tired when I get in from work, but come 10pm I'm wide awake! Not only that, but when I do try and go to sleep any little sound keeps me from entering the land of nod. I've never been one for falling asleep with the TV or radio on.

I am talking about at night though - the morning is a completely different matter. Tha alarm goes off. I switch it off and grab the remnote for my radio. The radio "blasts" out music (well it is Radio 2). I roll over and promplty fall asleep again.

I was never one to be able to sleep with any lights on - a chink of light could any me and prevent the counting of sheep. But give me daylight (or on winter's days my bedside lamp) and I can sleep peacefully on.

Maybe it's just that my bed is far too comfortable, the pillows too soft and the duvet too comforting.

Oh well - too wit too woo as the owls say.
