to think it is not natural to be this dark at 3 in the afternoon?

[OwlLady]

infact allll day :(

I am suprised my chickens haven't gone to bed

No it isn't and I am a bit worried DS is walking home from school! It does seem really dark for this time of day.

I looked in the mirror and couldn't see my face

It's happening

It got dark at 2.30 here :/ the little girl I'm looking after went and put her pyjamas on and asked to go to bed.

I did think I saw Satyrs earlier but I live in rural Bedfordshire, it could have been anybody

Ohhh, do people actually think the world is going to end? I keep having serious anxiety about this.

If it's not natural what is it?

Act of God?

Aliens?

Personally I just think it's a combination of the time of year and the weather.

YANBU... Blowing a gale, dark, just had a hail shower. Hang on a minute... it's not winter is it?

Um...it's sunny where I am. Sunny and not raining. I live in Wales.

Thinking about it OP,there probably is something very wrong!

It's weird isn't it. It was dark this morning as well. We have an outside light at work which is triggered by dusk/darkness and it's been on all day since I came in at 9 this morning. Depressing weather :(

I am in Shropshire and we have clearish skies and the beginning of a lovely sunset :)
Where are you dwellers in the darkness?

YABU to think it's an act of God or extra terrestrial activity

YANBU to think it's unusual, unpleasant and just not cricket

helped enormously by putting the clocks forward

Chaps - it's November 21st, and it's raining. The shortest day is in 4 weeks. That's what happens this time of year - it gets light late and dark early, and inbetween it's frequently cloudy!

It's been very dark since about 2 ish in the fens of Norfolk. Have just sent ds3 up to far end of field to get more wood before we lose all the light .

or back or whatever

I blame the electric eels, they've run out of coins for the lecky meter and are now leeching the stuff directly from the Sun. Eels! Love em, hate em but don't trust em

It's lovely and light here, sun just made a late appearance and sky is lovely and pink and gold :-) No apocalpyse here in the North West i'm afraid.

The world won't end. This whole calendar ending thing bothers me hugely - it didn't end, they ran out of space, and moved on to another hut. We've found it. You can visit it. They did not predict doom.

It's not dark where I am either. It's been really bright all day, but it's just rained a little so it's a bit duller now. Probably still 2am light though...can see all the way down into the valley, and the sun in the tree.

Apparently there is torrential rain just over an hour away, where we have just moved from. Crazy.

Just one month until it all starts to sway the other way.

Though I never seem to notice the lighter mornings until about Feb.

The sky has gone a quite odd purply colour now

Yanbu. I want one of those SAD boxes. They sell them in Maplins.

CajaDeLaMemoria - is that true? They found a calendar that continues after this December date?

oh solesopurce, i could do with a SAD box. We have had no sun all year :(

A fairly sunny afternoon here! I agree it has been gloomy this week, though not really End Times gloomy
