BLACKOUT SUNSHINE
After tea last night I followed my usual urge and wandered out onto the deck for a cigarette. As I passed through the Orderly Room lobby, “ Blackout ” was announced and I swore and
t pocketed my cigarettes. I did, however, enjoy the sunshine outside and spent fully half an hour watching the sunset and wondering why we had a Blackout when the sun was up.
The next happy event occurred in the morning, when, having shaved, dressed and broken my fast, I once ‘again strolled out for the post-prandial cigarette. What did I find ? Darkness ! Darkness for an hour after breakfast ! What trick has Father Time played upon us ?
