I've just been on bedtime pee patrols in the garden with the hound and I realised I can hear both a pair of tawny owls singing away in the not too distance but also the chattering of the many small birds that reside in my hedges.
I don't think I've ever noticed the day and night shift collide so clearly before, certainly not so distinctly.
I read somewhere that in South Yorkshire we'd not see nightfall (I.e. proper darkness) til July now but instead get twilight so hopefully I can get out my blanket and lay on the lawn some more and listen to two different worlds collide.
Hope you get a decent sleep Liri, and feel a bit more lively tomorrow. There's been a viral thing going round here - varying from your symptoms, to sicky, headachy stuff.
Lovely froggy pic Clari. End of May/early June is a nice time here as you get the longest days, and often some half decent weather to be outside in that 'not quite darkness' period you're describing - before the next day starts a few hours later!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
And there was my thinking you were all excited for Tuesday because it is my birthday Chicky!
Despite being tired all afternoon I couldn't really settle until gone midnight. This meant at least I could send a good morning message to my partner who'd have been just waking up. Thank goodness he installed a duel clock on my phone so I could see the different time zones.
Reggie and I are off work today. I will be gathering vital supplies for scouts tonight (I'm going to have them cooking on an open fire) but I need to think of a few more interesting things than orange chocolate cake and bananas (going for desserts as we've not warned them not to have supper before they come).
Til the school / work rush has departed however we will be mostly drinking tea and having cuddles on the bed.
Have a great day everyone; it's already looking like it'll be a hot one!

Feel better soon Liri.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Obelixx, I bought Betty Corning in Paradise Park GC in Newhaven, East Sussex.
I hope you feel better soon, Liri.
I've been busy in the garden today, planted out some plants I bought in England and prepared more pots for planting, weeded. Loads more to do.
Lovely frog photo and of course Reggie laying there, Clari.
I hope you feel better soon Liri.
We're fogged-in here this morning. Can't see much through the wind. I'll be leaving any outside work until it lifts.
Sleep well everyone.
