Things I discovered on Saturday morning

1:00am: I discovered that it's very hard to sleep when you're really hot and have hayfever
2:00am: I discovered that it's even harder when you have overdosed on hayfever nasal spray
4:00am: I discovered that time really drags when you are up this early
4:15am: I discovered that it gets sunny really early in June
4:16am: I discovered that the latest sunset is on June 23rd to June 27th, not June 21st, and the earliest sunrise is probably a few days before June 21st.
4:30am: I discovered that doing the washing up at 4:30am is a really bad idea
6:00am: I discovered that according to Wikipedia Coke Light in Europe is a diet version of original Coke, whereas Diet Coke in the UK (and Coke lite in the US) is of "new coke"
6:15am: I discovered that very strong coffee is not able to make you feel less tired but is able to stop you sleeping.
7:30am: I discovered sleep!
8:00am: I discovered that I had set the alarm for 8:00am on Saturday as I needed to get up early to drive to beach before going to BBQ in Folkestone
9:00am: I discovered that the car battery had gone totally flat
9:15am: I discovered that my Breakdown Cover did not include 'Home Start'
9:30am: I discovered that my sister was not available to help
9:35am: I discovered I had won £50 on premium bonds
9:45am: I discovered that it costs £70 to get someone to drive over from a garage in Latimer Road (750m away) and jump start car...

...and then you read about other people's problems and you realise how trivial yours are. Get well soon Jamie.
