Dark morning

Yesterday was the worst morning. It was Monday, which didn't help, but it was also the first morning we had to put the light on before we got out of bed. It's been getting slowly darker in the mornings but up to now we have managed. It wasn't even bad weather - quite nice, in fact - so we can't pretend that it was just one dismal dreary morning and tomorrow will be brighter.

From now on it will be all downhill until March. First of all it will be too dark to go down the garden when I get home from work; then it will be dark when I get home; then it will be dark when I leave work. Soon we'll have to put the heating on, and that means shutting the bedroom window for six months. And working in the kitchen without the back door to the garden open, and the windows steaming up.

Yes, it also means nice cosy evenings round the fire. But I'd rather have the sun.
