There’s shirt sleeve order - bands, shirt etc but no wig or gown but otherwise it’s one or the other. At 16 years in silk I have worn my robes twice.

Prob too early - but is this a too early conjunction of β€œwhite” and β€œrabbit” and even my addiction to puns runs out before the next one….?

There’s breakfast and then lunch so probably 0700 to 1500 and then supper so 1800 to 2000

I have just seen that the 4 Ashes Test starts on Christmas Day. Ok hive mind, do you think I can get away with β€œfix me a proper TV in the kitchen or fend for yourselves?”

I have noticed there are 2 ODIs next week and the World Cup. That’s a lot of early nights….

At least it got me from v early doors to breakfast. Gawd knows what the Ashes will do to my sleep pattern

I made the rookie error of looking at the clock, seeing 0503 and thinking that can’t be right and then being obliged to turn it back an hour…

It does mean you missed Eng losing the ODI against NZ.

I set analogue to new so I can have a look to see which wired devices have reset. Q Box for example still thought it was snooze time.

When you get to a certain age, the clock change is no longer β€œyay an extra hour in bed” it is β€œwhat blinking time is it?” - still the upside down- there’s ODI and WC cricket on….

I am now clearly entering the phase of life where I find Radio 3’s alteration to its programming v annoying. Yesterday was the last Matthew Sweet Sounds of Cinema. Before that it was Sean Rafferty. Can I officially go β€œharrumph” before snoozing in an arm chair post lunch?

As long as you remember falsetto whooping is only permissible on Chancery Motions Day and then you must be the most senior silk in the court

You can walk in those things? Do silks' tights keep the midge off?
