Bounding out of bed the second the alarm goes off is not something that either of us particularly do any more: if it happens, it’s only to make the cups of tea and then return to bed for a while, usually with some puzzle or other to pass the time. Mental activity, yes, but physical jerks in the morning, that’s just for other people now. I like this shot because the twin sources of light — lamp and phone — make C’s hand look rather spooky.
