I'd really notice how dark it was getting from about 15:00 the last couple of weeks. No wonder I become almost nocturnal once I get a break from work.

I am not a cold dark nights person

Was this not the reason for a mid-winter feast and festival - to mark a major day on the solar calendar, fatten up before the cold weather, and generally cheer everyone up...we were doing it long before all this Christmas nonsense came along...

...I've often fancied going to Stonehenge for the sunrise, but the last few years it has always been cloudy and raining.

Thank God. :shakeshout:

It's like Mordor up here.

It's so wet and dark at the moment that people are mutating slowly to adopt the genetic code of the blind cave fish.

I struggled with November and December when staying in Glasgow, it was dull all day, on particularly gloomy days you needed the lights on all day. No wonder the natives drink like fish. As did I at the time.

Ohh Goody, more time to chop wood.

Didn't the same thing happen about this time last year?
