SAD syndrome?

Just thinking that today having realised that, what with work and decorating etc I hardly go outside these days. I know my body's been craving a bit of sun for ages and I'm sure that's why all of my joints are hurting so much. When we had a spell of decent weather a few weeks ago [think it lasted for all of three days] I felt so much better. Where in Cornwall did you go, Grannylin?

Just how I have been feeling, but Cornwall too far and SW looks as wet as here. Excellent sentiment though.

Right I think we need to get a grip.Anyone beat this diary entry for July 8 after a weekend of floods and our village on Sky News

Think I've hit rock bottom.Nothing left to say.No future. Me, OH, the dog and nothing.
Seems laughable now- Decided that I needed to "embrace the weather".Got up this morning, raining for the 10 th day, got OH to drive us to Cornwall. Guess what? No rain all day, sat on the beach, fish and chips, best day for ages!

gracesmum you have hit the nail on the head there,oh how nice it would be to get up to some sunshine and not to feel a chill in the air I don't want it to be scorching hot just a few weeks of nice sunny weather would do me fine and I'm sure would lift everyones spirits sunshinesunshine

Some of us admit to feeling not a little down in the dumps/fed up/emotional/p****d off at the moment and I wonder if it is to do with the fact that we are not getting our sunshine and vitamin D? We might expect to feel a bit like this in February after a long dreary winter, but mid-July? I don't have to worry about entertaining young children, my holiday was not ruined and I have gven up on the garden, so why do I find it so enervating to wake up yet again to raindrops on the window? To get soaked when Grace has her bedtime walkie? To want the heating on?
Oh for just a day or two of sunshine to make us all smile again
