Winter is icumen back

[lethargic_man]

This time last year after cycling home one day in darkness, I promptly put myself back on BST so I could continue "cycling home in the last dregs of daylight". This year I've been getting up an hour early already, and cycling home in full daylight. If I want to continue this, I'm going to have to jump already to getting up an hour and a half early, which means going to bed at quarter past ten. (Either that, or start docking myself half of my lunchbreak, or switch already to long Tube and short cycling working days.)

I know I'll appreciate it, as the extra daylight staves off the SAD, but, frankly, the prospect daunts. Which it shouldn't, really, as with no Marom events since before the High Holydays, there's no reason to stop me from going to bed at that time...

It froze here overnight. And the clocks going back is going to give me another couple of weeks before I have to stress about shacharit. Boo winter in general, though.

I often got warm through cycling when I did it in Germany. I don't like winter either. English houses always get very cold although we don't have snow here.

I much prefer summer.

On the news today it was saying this may be the hottest year on record in England.

Summer's too hot for me. Autumn's my favourite season. It's astonishingly late this year; the trees were going pretty colours in Stockholm two weeks ago, but had not even started in London when I left, and are only just starting now.

Haven't decided yet.
