Time of Year
I can’t be the only one who finds this time of year miserable - cold, damp, dark, dreary - now I barely see daylight from one day to the next, it just seems like I’m “going through the motions” of my life - one day blurs into another. :’(

Do you not enjoy the crisp fresh morning? Yes, it is flipping cold, but I like the tingly feeling of seeing frost on the grass and my breath in the air.
I would have to agree though, not seeing daylight after 4pm sucks. But on clear nights the sky looks beautiful with all the stars etc…
Only another 5 months or so…
Then I got to work, and thinsg went from bad to worse… but I try not to talk about work on here - and least not in specifics…
Yeah, suppose the late sunrise and early sunset thing sucks.
But the best part of Winter is on the way, Christmas and New Year!
Crisp, bright, sunny mornings - it’s been like that for a few days and I love it! This is about 2 miles from my house: http://magic-smoke.demon.co.uk/~john/Boats-on-Lyln-Padarn.jpg and two days ago there was the most wonderful sight. Bright, low early-morning sunshine behind the mountains, vertical ripples of mist (like bed springs…) hanging just above the surface of the water, highlighted by the sun behind, frost on the ground. I wished I’d had my camera with me. I saw two other people on the side of the lake with cameras.
Very cold, but I would far prefer lovely crispness and brightness like this to a milder but extremely depressing greyness and dampness. Like today.
Crisp Bright and Sunny here is fine (as long as I realise early enough to scrape the ice off the car) - but today was Cold, Damp and Foggy here…
However, Tom, I do see your point, and of course very soon we’ll be past the shortest day, and rapidly heading towards the start of the new coaster season
The local woods I drive through every day have taken on a Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings/Narnia like magic the last few days: First was the low lying mist, then the frost covered branches. Usually I’m pretty oblivious to the trees - this week you can’t fail to notice them. Wahoo for winter!
