Still half dark as I set off for my Sunday walk to the markets. This time next week we're back to normal!
@sister_ratched got up ~0600, pitch black, so immediately petitioned govt for royal commission!
@MsDropbear42 @sister_ratched I woke at 5 am but chose to read in bed until a more civilised hour (for a Sunday). Just finished my second cup of tea and forced myself to get up and start on the laundry. Was not enthused to be honest.

@cheryanne

Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o’clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing “Hallelujah.”
