First Light

The other night young Eloise crawled into our bed in the pitch blackness of the timeless stretches of nether worldly darkness, whereupon she fidgeted relentlessly before falling asleep again, upside down, with her feet in our faces.

Unsurprisingly sleep did not come that easily after that and when I surfaced to a level of consciousness sufficient to allow me to appreciate the dawn chorus I got out of bed and drove to the beach.

By the time I got home an hour later, Nicole was getting ready to go to work and I went back to bed for a couple fo hours before, rather appropriately, the Upside Down Show came on.
