Dry & bright here with some fluffy white clouds and 13 degrees.

Very grateful for that as I'm loading the car ready for our trip up North on babysitting duty.

Don't have a bath here, shower only and I wouldn't fit in the sink or if I did I'd need the Fire Brigade to get me out again

My other half just left for a nightshift so I'm dining alone, somewhat lacking inspiration for dinner . . . . maybe a couple of fried eggs and oven chips

Evening all, coffee time here on the night shift.

Preferred nightshift or backshift. Dayshift was ok during the summer but not autumn or winter, I was never into getting up before the sun. Used to have shifts that started 02:30 and 03:17, detested them. Didn't have fixed start times in the rail freight industry, not like one week 06:00, next week 14:00, next week 22:00, you'd start "around" the same time all week, +/- 2 hours either side of a datum time as long as you had a minimum 12 hours rest between finishing and starting again. The start time depended on what turn/train you were working, if a train arrived from the south at 4am somebody had to be there to step on and take it forward to the north, west or where ever.
