Gosh it's dark

It's 08:15 and almost dark outside. The rain is lashing down and I am in no hurry to go out this morning. Tony will sleep until 10:00 but being an early bird means I am up and about already.  I used to bounce out of bed at 06:00 and feel as fresh as a daisy. That was before my hip became so painful that it stopped me sleeping properly. Now, I usually drag myself out of bed at around 07:30. Not much point trying to go back to sleep when I am in pain. I will be glad to get my life back at some point.
