    If only I’d known you were up and about @Wilderbeast ... there’s some potting on you could’ve done here too ... 😉 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    1am and someone's dog finally stopped barking. 4am and two cats were having a yowl off in the street outside. The cats finally stopped when a family of sheep went noisily baaaing along the street looking for a front lawn to mow. At least the kids slept through though :|

    Well what a pants night had major cramp while trying to sneek out while not waking Mrs Wilderbeast. Disaster she had to straighten my leg while I was laid in a heap on the floor 😭😭 cramp sorted and I got a stern telling off for sneeking around at night (yes I might be 43 but in this house I'm only 14). Back into bed still no sleep, cosmos not potted up and a very grumpy wife. God I wish I could sleep better

    Woke by a huge storm at 3am, got up to close the windows but been laid awake since thinking about gardening. Time for a brew and maybe some greenhouse jobs in the dry

    It's not looking good for me getting much sieep tonight. :|  I suspect it will be getting light before I even get to bed at this rate.

    It's early yet isn't it? Was getting light when I went to bed last night, went to sleep listening to the cockerel across the road  :/

    I would have traded a cockerel for the sounds of my neighbours' drunken party and piles of bottles being poured into the recycling bin every 10 minutes until the early hours last night.

    I think I'll stick with the cockerel, I find it comforting, though it's better when I hear it when I wake up, rather than when going to sleep! Was a sound a grew up with and really don't mind it at all.

    Wilderbeast, I thought men are always 14!!  I retired 4.5 years ago, from 25 years of (nursing) nights, often sleep an hour, that was the break we had, then awake for the next 4 or 5 , have so many books on the subject, my average is 4 hours, most of the books say, you should then go to bed in my case 4 hours before you want to get up, so 2 or 3 in the morning, if I try to stay awake that long, I feel ill, then go into night shift mode, and dont actually go to sleep at all.

    Well four hours was all I got in the end. :|  Better than nothing I suppose...
