October 31st, 2004
 | 02:00 am - Each day a little bit shorter ...
Today (Sunday 31st, that is) marks the end of Summer Time around here.
Yesterday, sunrise was at 8:18am and sunset at 5:40pm.
Today, sunrise will be at 7:20am, and sunset at 4:38pm, which will be the earliest sunset that I have experienced.
By Dec 20th, sunrise will be at 8:45am, and sunset at 3:41pm - just under 7 hours of potential daylight, and then there's the weather playing its part.
A long way from mid-June, with sunrise at 4:28am and sunset at 10:06pm (and twilight for quite a while afterwards ... ).
Most of the time, it doesn't feel so dramatically different living here compared to Australia, but I suspect the next few months will feel very different indeed.
Current Mood:  calm

For once I am really looking forward to turning the clocks back an hour. This year I find it much harder to get up in the morning when it's so dark. The end of our Daylight Savings Time doesn't take place until next weekend. I wonder why it's offset a week from Britain? I wonder why we still do it? ![[User Picture]](https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/2767711/732878) | | From: |  numbat |

Do tell if the short, short days begin to alter your diet. I figure food such as porridge and haggis is associated with Scotland for a reason. I'm looking forward to the first day in weeks where I start work AFTER sunrise!! ![[User Picture]](https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/4484283/977366) | | From: | bungo |

Embrace the Dark Side!
I see on the Beeb that some MP wants to introduce a Bill to keep the UK moved one time zone to the right all year round, on Central European Time. So your midwinter sunrise could be 9:45.
