I normally wander outside early evening to see if I'm inspired, ( and the clouds haven't spotted me ). Pretend to do some gardening while surreptitiously glancing at the sky. Cautiously approach the orange tree,(close to the Ob) and then sneak in and power up stuff.
Then I go back inside as though nothing has happened and the clouds lose interest.
Then when it's dark I sneak out with my hoodie up so they don't recognise me and open the roof up ...

.
Having the Ob makes a HUGE difference to motivation as I know I can be up and running in 10 minutes and if nothing inspires me well there is always the red inside. (TV is a waste of time !! ). I can do an hour or two of imaging, viewing or just fiddling and then be in bed 10 mins after shutdown.
Can be a mission sometimes after a hard day though.
