I’m sitting here in candle light. Not sure why. I’m not usually in to all that sort of stuff. I’m trying to relax you see. I’m being David the travel bod tomorrow on the breakfast show for the first time in a month or so. I’ll have to get into the swing of waking up very early again.

Problem is I’m not the relaxing type of person. I can never settle. I wish I could put down my laptop, switch off my phone and mute my IPod but it just doesn’t seem to work.  Xavier, our book pundit on the Sunday Showcase has let me borrow a copy Ian Fleming’s short Bond stories in a desperate attempt to get me to start reading books, maybe I should try that to relax.

It’s also not helping that it is still very light outside, even at half 10 at night. Something I’m used to when in Shetland, but not on the mainland.  Rather scary though in a couple of weeks we’ll be at mid summer and it will start getting darker again!

Getting close to mid summer could be a benefit for tomorrow though. At least it will be broad daylight leaving the flat at 5am. Always a help.

At 7am this morning, while I was at work, it was a beautiful sunny day across Aberdeen with not a single cloud in the sky.

By 9am is was completely cloudy and there was a chilly breeze.

How many hours of nice weather am I missing a year by spending an extra couple of hours in bed?

And why is it always nice weather the days I decide to do an ‘all dayer’ at work?

Surely god doesn’t decide the weather based on what I’m doing that day… does he?
