In London Today
Sunrise: 4:44am
Sunset: 9:17pm
Back in February my sister and her family from Spain came to visit for a few days. On the first night I explained the blinds - 'they don't close all of the way, I hope this does not throw off your sleeping patterns...'
'What no Black-out Shades, what sort of backwards country is this?' Naomi replied teasingly.
(in Spain, every home comes equipped with built in metal black-out shades that really do keep your home completely dark no matter what time of day it is)
But really it would be not problem - as in February the sun goes down at 4 and rises at 8:30ish.
This morning at about 5am the light was pouring through our less than adequate window shades and in the grouchy fogginess of my mind to those words Naomi said came back to me...What sort of backwards country is this?
...perhaps one that will make me the early morning riser I always wish I were (for 4 months out of the year at least)!
Either that or I need to realize that I am the backwards one for not biting the bullet and purchasing proper curtains.

really funny. I can't imagine having the sun rise at 5 am or before! It's like the roosters that roam around your mom's neighborhood!
We have those rouladin blinds as well. Love them. You can purchase curtains style blackout shades, I think. I think of you often nad want to send you hugs, my late rising friend. I remember how well you used to sleep. I always envied that... :)
