Titanarum

An apology. The autumn leaf fall is a joyful manifestation of the cycle of life, not a nuisance. I don’t know what came over me yesterday but I hold my head in shame this morning. Dramatically changing colour before dropping off they present to the world a final song and dance before biting the dust. That is a cause for celebration not complaint. And the benefits are physical too. Forming a light blanket the leaves act as a nutritious mulch around other plants, feeding and protecting them from the winter frost.

I don’t know about you but I had trouble staying asleep this morning. Up early on a Monday morning. Absolutely shocking. I blame it on the clock changing. It is too sudden. Giving us more daylight in the morning is a great incentive to get out of bed in the winter time but the change is too brutal. Why not do it in stages? My evening will be ruined because come 7pm I’ll be absolutely knackered. I feel so aggrieved I’m prepared to set up a pressure group for the gradual introduction of clock changing in this country. Say 10 minutes every week until the winter solstice.
