Oh, yeah... that happened. Must have been tired as it doesn't even feel like my sleep-in was an hour longer than I first realised. So now I will both depart and return from home in the dark on commuting days. :( But that is inevitable when your full return trip working day is circa 11 hours of course, I was only just barely catching pre-twilight in the evenings as it was. (My commute is typically an hour each way, I get to work an hour early go get about an hour of gym time (inc prep, shower, etc), and our standard working day is 9-6 with an hour lunch break but I flex this to about 07:30-16:30 in an attempt to get home earlier.) Tempting to shave a half hour off lunch, but TBH I kinda like the big lunch break. Personally I think the UK should be UTC+2 all year. 😂

Ummm.... I assume the first two begat the third.

Widening the net of my RightMove "drawn area" a bit. There hasn't been a single new rental listing in our conjoined villages for over a month. The rental market seems to be really badly dead around here lately. In the wider area drawn down my commute and several miles out of the villages covering a few smaller villages there are a total of 4 places listed with a £550pcm "house share" at the bottom end and a £1.9k pcm "5 bedroom house" at the top end, then two a tad under £1000 that aren't really a good enough upgrade on what we have for the extra rent. Main motivation from my front is to have a bit more privacy than we have with the current shared property inclusive of conjoined AirBnB and its rotating clientele of tradespeople, and to maybe shift to the commute-side of the villages to shave 10+ mins off the drive time.
