Is anyone else counting down the days to lighter nights?

I hate winter! I find myself counting down the days to lighter nights and warmer days when I don’t need to wear a coat. I want to wear my sandals and flip flops, I want to spend time in the garden past 4.30pm, I want to feel the warmth in the sun again and want the mornings to be light before 8am.

I’m so sick of dark nights and have never been a twinkly lights and cosy nights type person.

Yes. I'm already noticing with relief that it's now creeping towards 5pm before it gets dark. I'm looking forwards to seeing the daffodills come out.

No - I prefer cosy dark nights. Hate long hot summer nights with neighbours blasting out music,

Nope! I love Winter.

I’m already starting to dread summer. Especially as with global warming it seems to start in March down here! (South East).

Yes, I have seasonal affective disorder so REALLY don’t enjoy winter.

MondeoFan · 26/01/2021 22:36

Yes I am. I'm feeling really cooped up especially with lockdown too. It makes you realise in the winter how long the days actually are. Plus I've not long bought a convertible car so looking forward to driving with the roof down. It's the only thing keeping me going atm

Me me me!

Can't wait to get home from work and have some daylight spare.

No, I like cold, dark evening walks.

I like looking into people's windows, and the quiet streets.

I like cold parks, and frost, and rain, and fog.

I hate the long, hot, summer days, and the loud people.

I’m with you! I hate going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark and only seeing the garden in the day at the weekend. I hate scraping ice off the car and feeling freezing cold as I get out of bed.

I’m much happier when it’s already light when my alarm goes off!!

Last night in SE there was still a lot of light in the sky at 4.50. Filled me with joy.

SaltyTootsieToes · 26/01/2021 22:43

Oh yes! I miss the long nights. Have so much more energy. Can’t wait

lavenderlove · 26/01/2021 22:44

I can't wait!! I love it when I check the weather and every day the sunset gets later by a few mins. It's so depressing going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark
