So i have been busy with the falco doing a bit of tinkerng and keeping the kids occupied so the missus can tidy up, just needed another hour of light and at half six it was nearly pitch black outside.
I had to resort to using my inspection lamp just to put all the bits away in some sort of order so i can put the bike back togeather next week, i hate early nights.
It won't be long before i am going to and coming home from work in the dark

Tolerance will be our undoing.

Your fault living in the third world - aka yolkshire
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Well that's one way to light your way.
Back in civilisation, we find a good HID is much more effective - and doesn't require a blazing old hag to be strapped to the front of the fairing.

I will draw your comments to hanna's attention Andy
I suspect the fireworks may mean a few nights where we will not need to burn any witches....

Please note, I realise that Hanna has no need of blazing witches to light her path. With only a little contortion and a lighter, her very generous farts should light the way.

In Sweden they spend the dark days drinking, no need to go to work, hibernate with a case or 5 of your preferred beverage.
I'm still up at daft o'clock and its dark for at least another hour or 2 but at least one day a week I have finished at lunchtime (I'm not including the weekends)
I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"

Are you sure? Have you ever had to arrange finance for a drink in Sweden?
BTW the Swedes tend to work through those months and then shut down completely for about 5 weeks during the summer - at least the industries that I know in Sweden do.
