In fact, the Duchess of Devonshire is my current idol: http://cgi.ebay.ph/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350205419602kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08886671450223067924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1924335954615667701.post-28024561380224896702009-10-29T07:23:00.643-07:002009-10-29T07:23:00.643-07:00Jamie Oliver's dad used to squirt his 6 year-o...Jamie Oliver's dad used to squirt his 6 year-old self with a hose through his bedroom window when he was getting a little shut eye, yelling "sleep is for the dead." Poor Poppa Oliver. He just doesn't get it. <br /><br />I'm with you. I love a good slumber. If you ever wanted to curtail lengthy sleep, though (and I'm certainly not suggesting it), get some chickens. They need at least 14 hours of daylight to lay eggs. I have to get up every morning, no matter what, at 7 and let them out. Sometimes it sucks royal arse, but most of the time, I like the motivation. Since getting them 1 1/2 years ago, I've only gotten back into bed twice-once because I was sick, and the other time, well, the hair of the dog wins all.ashley englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13762972337222302012noreply@blogger.com
