I got a call on my cell phone this morning at 4 am.
A few years ago I got a spate of these - a Florida travel agency saying I was being offered a marvelous deal - three days at some Florida resort for only 100 bucks. When I expressed my delight but asked were they also going to fly me there from New Zealand they stopped calling, thank goodness.
I stupidly put my cell phone as a back-up for my Yahoo account two days ago. They are on to me again I suspect.
Anyway, I missed the call but was still wide awake 30 mins later. So, as there was a little light in the sky, I decided not to waste the lovely coolness and got up and went for a walk around the park, something I haven't done since I broke my ankle back in January.
It was lovely. Very wet grass from the rain the last two days. A low, ephemeral mist was ponded across the sports fields. Enough clouds to make the sky interesting. I really should get up earlier more often.
It's still only 6.30am. What shall I do with the rest of this wonderful day?

| The stadium |

| Looking across the sports grounds |

| The river is still dark and spooky |

| My favourite corner of the park. |

| Home again at 6am |
What a lovely morning You got! Here in Denmark its dark as the grave at 4 am this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine Kirsten. This is about as early as it gets in NZ. I hardly ever see it!
DeleteWell done you Katherine. I used to love the freedom of those early morning walks ~ not quite as early as you though ~ but saying good morning to people! filling the lungs with clean air! the quiet before the traffic. It sets you up for a great day ~ enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYes Carol. It was lovely. But not a soul around.
Delete4am is a bit early for me too. Our weather today here in The Bay wouldn't have tempted me out anyway it's very windy and cloudy although I have hopes after the sun and 30 deg yesterday.
ReplyDeleteUsually too early for me too. Should clear up today down there I think. Eeek, 30's a bit steep for this time of year!
DeleteI love the feeling of getting up extra early. It is such a magical time, the rest of the day never quite lives up to it!
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting thought Jenny. True today anyway. I've been yawning all morning and I fell asleep in the bath!
DeleteIt's 6.30am here, and still pitch black outside.
ReplyDeleteWe've pinched all your light.
DeleteThese mornings are one reason I like working nights.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise you worked nights Sanna. You return home when everyone else is just beginning their day...
DeleteAt least I waited until the sun was up - the ducks were still asleep in its warmth.
ReplyDeleteThe nights are still fresh Fi. But the days are very hot - my banties are moulting!
