So dark, so depressing, so awful, no socialising, unbearable etc.

What do you think?

We seem to have 2 season weather this year! Plunged into a grey, windy and cold September from a baking hot Summer.
Well, I embraced the Summer - I had to, I was working outdoors a lot. So I'm going to embrace this weather too.
Quite nice to give your body a break from the hot days and nights and get blanket cosy.
And seeing the grass green up again.
No eye masks in bed or black out blinds.

Just enjoy it.

The "ber" months are the worst time of the year. Summer is over, we're back to the daily grind of the school run, the crap weather is back and it's dark early. Once the solstice and new year come round it's better because things are on the up. I'd happily never have Christmas again if we could also lose winter. Light until 10pm and daytime temperature 20C+ all year round would be great. Before anyone says it I know seasons are natural, necessary etc. But my health, mood and energy are just so much better in vitamin D weather.
