| Breakfast view |
Edison did an outstanding job - where would we be today without electric light? But given the choice between natural and artificial light I'd choose the former any day. And so it is that at this time of the year I eat my breakfast by the light of the dawn, until Other People here emerge from their beds and turn lights on All Over The Place claiming they cannot otherwise see. So strange. These are people who would rather run on a rubber belt in an unattractive shed than enjoy the real world, the wind caressing one's body, glorious vistas, maybe a dip in the lake. One of my grandchildren barges in and turns all ten ceiling spots on. Someone else turns the kitchen lights on to make coffee, then exits leaving them on. And we have to have lights continuously burning 24/7 in the corridors because otherwise how would folk get around? Thankfully at least we now use low energy bulbs.
A small price to pay for living with Others!
