Sunrise is timed for 06:57 GMT tomorrow morning. You normally expect some useful light in the sky from about half an hour before sunrise, depending on the weather. Lighting-up time (i.e. lights on vehicles) is half an hour before sunrise and half an hour after sunset. Pretty dark at 06:00 I would say. (No, I don't get up then either, if I can avoid it.)

I'll have you know I'm very proud of my new shed. It has a verandah, balustrades, a built in kennel with seperate dog door ( with his own litle porch ), rug on the floor. None of yer B&Q rubbish. Bespoke this shed is. Talk of the neighbourhood. People come round to see it, everything. "Shed" doesn't really cover it. Can't quite bring myself to put anything in it yet. Might make it untidy. :-)) Reply to this message | Report message

""Shed" doesn't really cover it" Sounds like a vacant hovel.. I can see the headlines: Cheshire tramp refuses to sleep in shed as it's too good for him.... Reply to this message | Report message

It has a roof, which indeed extends over the verandah. Wouldn't know about the cost but my estate manager (SWMBO) tells me it was jolly good value. :-)) Reply to this message | Report message

>> Any early risers this morning (west london dwellers)? What was the light like at 06:00? Probably not much use to you, but I pulled into a loading area at Sheffield Meadowhall shopping centre at 05:55 this morning. The first glimmer of light was just visible in the (clear) Eastern sky over the Tinsley viaduct. Showers forecast tonight*, the cloud cover will keep it pitch dark for another 10-15 minutes tomorrow morning I reckon. I'll be in London (other side though) so I'll compare sunrise times with t'North. *Didn't check that before I washed the car earlier, d'oh.

I was up at 6:30 Saturday morning for my shift at the Talking Newspaper - Wanted to make sure I had plenty of time for breakfast. Shouldn't have had the 5 lagers, staying up until 1am in the morning listening to music the night before though - bad move! Reply to this message | Report message

It's quite normal to have an early riser! Reply to this message | Report message       1
