Briefly there and gone : now a heavy cloud layer. I turned my head and saw Blackie eating meal worm, otherwise would have missed it.    I was sitting, getting on with the task of getting all 21 discs onto Mac, of the wonderful BBC recording of ' The Complete Smiley' , recently broadcast again with Simon Russell Beale as George Smiley. John Le Carre's ace spy. Simon's voice is a great soporific !. Sometimes I can go off to sleep again as I listen. Not this morning : I gave in and got up. I'm accepting that perhaps I don't need a lot of sleep anymore. I have got bags of energy and get loads done. So it ain't a problem.
