With the savings of an hour of daylight comes the eventual expenditure and recompense of said hour. On these mornings, it is dark when I rise – a drawback of the longer days this early in the season. When I’m working from home I have been lighting a candle until the daylight turns all the way on. It’s a small source of comfort when the mornings are still so cold and dark.
It also reminds me that I need to restock these simple tapers for our homage to ‘Babette’s Feast’ – the upcoming dinner that Suzie (and in much smaller part me) are attempting to put on this coming weekend. It’s been re-titled ‘Suzette’s Feast’ and I’ll be trying my first effort at baking Rugbrød – a Danish rye bread – for the occasion. Unless I run out of steam, a distinct possibility. It’s only Tuesday, but Mercury is in retrograde emotion and all bets are off. Not that any bets were ever on – I’m not a betting man.
