Having gone to bed early last night, I wake up early, eat a quick breakfast and get down to work, starting at 7am. By midday, I've broken the back of what needs doing. The sun is out, there's a light frost, so a good long walk is called for. Make and eat a sandwich and go. A two-and-half hour walk is planned.
Below: typical landscape around Chynów - orchards, forests and fields. The snow is not too deep, so walking is not hampered.
Below: tyre tracks in the snow by the geodetic control-point network POLREF 2702 in a field between Machcin II and Jakubowizna...
Below: it's only quarter past two, but look how low the sun is in the sky... Sun sets now just after half-past four. Plenty of animal tracks here too. Note the gap in the treeline on the horizon - that's the way home.
Back home at half past two; check if there's any more work come in (no); make lunch, exercise, a little work that needs attention - and that's it. Having been out for a long walk, the day has been a success. Exposure to two hours of sunshine at this time of year has huge health benefits, physical and mental, a massive tonic.
I cannot see myself ever returning to a nine-to-five office routine. But then I cannot see myself retiring any time soon.
