This is the tree that usually features in my 'Same Tree, Different Sky' album.
Sadly, the good night's sleep that I was needing didn't exactly materialise. I was woken at 3am by the dog barking like a maniac at a fox which was eating seed which had fallen off the bird table. It was -6C outside and it always seems to come round when it is very cold.
Half way into my stomp down stairs I was struck by the irony of the facts that:
a) she sleeps all bloody day, presumably so can keep her night time vigil on the lookout for foxes.
b) she didn't stir when the garden shed was burgled a couple of months ago
c) when she does wake in day she doesn't bat an eyelid at the pheasant which spends half the day a few feet away from her on the opposite side of the glass doors.
Adrenalin levels subsiding, I just about managed to drop off to sleep again but by 3.30 it all kicked off again. I dealt with that and got to bed at about 3.45. Really fed up by now because I had to be up in two and a half hours.
Seemingly not wishing to be outdone Graham immediately embarked on a one man symphony of snoring. I was now faced with a dilemma - to stay and not sleep, or to go up to the spare bedroom which is in the eaves of the house, and really badly insulated so would be freezing. I chose the latter option - and didn't sleep
So, spent most of the day feeling exhausted.
Art club in the afternoon. A dabble with mixed media which involved messing about with oil pastels and turpentine - great fun.
Oh you have my sympathies about the sleeping! I don't sleep terribly well and Steve keeps me awake sometimes with his snoring and I sometimes get into the spare bed and it's freezing cold! Nice shot though in this pic
Truly beautiful shot... fav. Oh your diary entry today was so amusing... however not so funny for you, bless your heart... I am not a happy bunny when I do not get enough sleep... gotten worse as I have got older..... I actually spent two hours sat talking to my son in the wee small hours the other night trying to make him feel better about a broken relationship ... did manage to get back to bed for while but could not sleep... was like a zombie the rest of the day... whereas my son although very unhappy went to work and managed to keep going all day... finally zonked out when he got home... I spent the day trying to keep awake.... and actually nodded off for a while once I sat down..... catching flies was how I was described by my lovely hubby ... lol!! ♥
