Summer time has ended and it is now well and truly dark by the time work is finished. It is annoying more than depressing and I am sure I will get used to it. After a really mild October, the temperature has now dropped to just 1C or 2C overnight. I have thus far not needed the winter coat but I think tomorrow I will be wearing it.
So the countdown now is until the winter solstice on December 22. There are 50 days to go where each day’s sunlight will be shorter than the previous. The solstice is something to look forward to as after that point; each day will start getting longer.
Winter is annoying because one is so much more unproductive during winter. When one gets home of an evening there is little incentive to go out because it is not very pleasant heading out in the cold and the dark. So one tends to stay on the couch in front of the tele a lot more in winter. Fortunately they stack the football fixture calendar in the darkest months of winter, which probably keeps the razor blades away from a few wrists here and there.
Winter is really not that bad, though the hardest thing for an Australian living in London during the winter; is know that it is lovely and warm back home. Though to be honest it probably gets a bit too hot for me in Sydney in the summer. There’s just no pleasing some is there?
