Oh, yes, my alarm clock. It's there.

I set my time 25 minutes ahead. Then I set my wake time 25 minutes behind. Does this make sense to you people?

If your wake time is 7:00 AM, at 7:00 AM your clock reads 7:25 AM and your alarm has already gone off at 6:35 AM... which is 7:00 AM. Offset?

Read "On War" in my formative twenties. It was a birthday gift from E.M. Reubens one of my esteemed mentors. Opened "Art of War" decades later.

Vom Krieg is much longer and harder to read.

Is that math waking you up?

That's why I did similar for some time, but eventually figured it all out and just slept in.

An empty jar to keep my teeth in.

An old can of lager that doubles as an ashtray.

A pair of tweesers for picking the cockroaches off Mrs GP.
I hate touching the things.
I drop them in the larger can.

What about the 'wee green light'?

No matter how late I stay up, always awaken between 6:30 and 6:45 AM (to pee, put on coffee and listen to birdsong). It's beyond clockwork.

That's on Mrs GP's bedside table - she looks really sexy bathed in a
pale green light. It hides the mouldy bits.

What is taking your songbirds so long? Mine are going off at about 4:45 or 5:20.

I often thought of recording them, now I will.
