Crunchy walking aids
September 26, 2012

D: It’s really dark in here – I need the light on. Because it’s all dark, I might not see the chair and then bash into it and fall on the floor and hurt my knees. And then I’d need crunches – kid’s crunches.

A shining example of flexible working

D: Why is it dark already?

Me: Because autumn’s coming – the days get shorter because the sun goes to bed earlier and gets up later.

D: Oh yes – I remember.

Me: In the winter the days will be really short, and it will get dark really early.

D: So on Christmas will the sun just pop up really late and then say goodbye and go straight back to bed again?

Me: Well it’ll get up slowly and go to bed slowly and hang around for a bit in between, so there will be some daylight, but yes – there won’t be as much.

D: Do we still have to get up at 6 o’clock?

Me: Yes.
