Wake me up when it's over

[caddyman]

I don’t know precisely what it is about mid February (or indeed, late February, given that there’s less than a week of it left already), but having got through the part of the year where the nights draw in and winter sets in, by this stage I just want to sleep all the time.

The nights are drawing out again, in a month the clocks will go forward for springtime, and the worst of winter has bundled off home to do whatever it is seasons do when it’s not their turn (take in a movie, catch up on the laundry, write few letters; that sort of thing). We haven’t quite got to the bit where spring is er, springing, but we’re not far off. The old sap should be rising, (fnur) rather than settling. But still, I want to curl up somewhere warm and just doze.

Next time around, I am going to bribe the karma pixies properly. I think I fancy coming back as a cat.
