In these sort of temperatures, I wouldn't dream of walking as late as 7 am or as early as 10 pm. The lowest temps don't usually arrive until 3/4 am, hence my 6 am gardening. It was 23° overnight here and I closed the windows and the shutters.
A lot of us here are well over the age of majority and have to be more careful. My neighbour goes off before sparrow's fart and takes a bottle of water with her.

MAD87,
Nice to know that others use the phrase, known it from when I was diddy along with many other.
Often wonder if youngsters do these days, to busy with their smartphones I expect.
Once again storms missed us, 3mm of wet with a chute of 10 degrees at midnight when unplugging.

We had about 4 rumbles of thunder overnight but no rain and a minuscule drop in temperature.
We start our walk around 6am and do a 40 minute route - I’m always back no later than 7 am. I’ve not even ventured into the garden for a swim for 2 days, but I will this afternoon.

Been raining almost continually here since last evening with rain varying from 'absolutely chucking it down' to 'a gentle sprinkle'.
Very windy at times with temperature in the low 20's.

My pleasure. I thought it was a general reference to very early, aka sparrow-fart. My Irish parents used it quite often, but it's apparently a Yorkshire expression in origin.

High winds, storm and hail forecast this evening. Everything tidied away just in case, so of course it will bypass us again!
