I've had similar sleep patterns in the past. I never got enough sleep. Recently instead of watching telly and either fighting to stay awake or falling asleep I go to bed. So far this is giving me much better sleep. If I go to bed around 9.00/9.15 I can sleep till 4.00/5.00am - sometimes longer. Seven to eight hours is a lot for me.

It's good that you have a parrot to keep you company. Who's a pretty boy, eh?
Good morning all.
The rain hasn't started yet, but the grey sky looks threatening.
Today we are off to the Alban Arena to see a dance show with six of ex Strictly come dancing professional dancers, plus supporting dancers.
We are having dinner first in a local pub, there are an excellent choice of pubs in St. Albans.
Like @Mo1959 waking up to the news about Chris Hoy has knocked the wind out of my sails. Very sad.

Morning all, been up awhile. Shaved, showered and washed the kitchen floor, it was filthy. Same as others about Chris Hoy, but reading an article earlier, it appears his wife was diagnosed last year with multiple sclerosis. Double sadness.
Morning all 
Had my Covid jab yesterday and, for the first time, I've had a reaction to it.
Dreadful night, last night. Sweats and shivers, mind racing and a headache.
Feel like I've been run through the mill this morning.
I just feel like staying in bed today.
Might have to cancel our Sunday lunch date with our mates.

Good morning. Blowing a gale and pouring with rain as storm Ashley beats us all back indoors. Ah well.
My body, in particular my knee, feels like it can handle the morning workout. The first since Monday. Then it's a brief tidy round followed by a huge amount of important admin.
On Wednesday we have a meeting to discuss managing our son's household accounts. A week tomorrow I have a meeting with LCC to discuss his financial assessment and overall funding for the coming year. Then I need to begin preparing for a meeting to assess my RTA personal injury claim. A discussion with an independent consultant.
This is heavy duty stuff.......I sniff a G&T around 6.00pm

Good day all.
My sleep was disjointed to say the least. I fear I will need to crash out for an hour later.
Right, I know the needle is stuck but the weather forecast is really annoying me. Yesterday it promised 4 days of sunshine. Now it shows rain all week.
2 things planned for the day. I have 2 friends visiting at 11.00. Later my daughter is doing a full roast for late lunch.
Have a good day everyone.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Coooooeeeee. 13 deg here but it's really dark and windy (not me) and we have weather warnings for today about the wind.
I saw on the news yesterday about Chris Hoy. Sad news. Seems a lot of people are being diagnosed with one type of cancer or another. 2 of our friends have passed over the last couple of years due to that horrible disease.
Stay safe peeps

Sad news indeed.It doesn’t matter how fit you are or healthy life you have led doesn’t protect you from that dreadful disease .
Some years ago while working for social services I visited a Marie Curie hospice.What surprised me was the positive attitude of the patients who were receiving end of life care
