there are a few reasons why i get up at 4.45am to drive down one of this country's busiest motorways so i can start work at 6am.  the main one is because it allows me to leave the office at 4pm (meeting commitments permitting) and i can be home to have dinner with the family

last night when i got back we decided it was still light and warm enough to go for a quick geocache and look at a ford.

i noted this 'flood' sign in the middle of the ford.

by the way, another couple of reasons i get up so early are: that motorway isn't busy, and (most relevantly) my clock gains about a minute every fortnight and i've been slowly getting up earlier for the last year without really realising it !  it also means my clock is always wrong.
