Home is where…

... the silence is...

No wonky clock, no mad puppy, no weird sounding boiler humming, no traffic, no loud TV from next door, no water pump, no clicking radiators... it's times like this when you realise how loud your tinnitus really is.

Woke up extremely late after hitting the sack at about midnight but not managing to sleep until around 3. Having Sky back plays havoc with your sleep pattern! The BCS Bowl game was on and I thought I might attempt to watch it, but about halfway through the second quarter I gave up and put my iPod on in a feeble attempt to lull me off. However, Neil Gaiman's American Gods is too good to fall asleep to.
First thing I noticed when I awoke was how cold the apartment was. I checked the temperature gauge and the usual stable 20 degrees was down to 16 - jumper on.
It's -17 outside at the moment, so I'll have to nip up the road whilst there's still a bit of light in the sky to pick up supplies...
