Insomniacalist conundrum...

Here's an 'interesting' one...

Scrobs very occasionally has a night of repeated tossing and turning, with stupid dreams and noises off, like the majority of normal citizens!

Last night, one of these events seemed to take on a rather surreal production, with various awakenings, several 'drops off', and eventually three hours slumber from around 3.00am.

In fact, last night, I solved a Telegraph Crossword clue, (1 across, 5,3,6), which had been bugging me for a couple of days; I'd heard the lorries crashing by and avoiding the roadworks on a parallel main road, and listened to the dog snoring, and chasing something in her sleep.

So the eventual realms of dormancy prevailed, and I dropped off around the allotted time! But the ridiculous dreams persisted, and near dawn, during a strange dream, where my dear wife and daughter were in my parents' house, laughing at the dog, I was panicking because the hound was steadily chewing one of my favoured Airpods, and eventually swallowing it!

The awakening arrived with said dog softly pawing my shoulder to go out - in real time - and for a nanosecond, I thought of berating her for eating my connection to my iPhone!

I'm not sure what a trick cyclist might surmise from this episode, but by Golly, did it make me laugh!
