last sniff around the block at 01.30. It is so wonderful that the Borough Council now turn off the unneeded street lights after 01.00; except for the lights still coming from houses (which seem to shine like beacons), darkness holds sway again and one can see the stars clearly on a cloudless night. It feels more natural like this. The night should be ruled by darkness, its reign broken only by the light of the stars and the moon. It is good to feels one's pupils dilate to drink in the ambient light available, to feel all the senses heightened - taking in the scents of the surroundings, hearing every small sound and allowing one's feet to become more aware of every variation in the ground beneath them. A time that is simultaneously both restful and exciting.
