Getting dark!

Theoddbird

It is only because of cloudy skies. It is no darker...just appears so.

No it is darker!
Sunset gets earlier as the Summer moves towards Autumn. Lighting-up time (remember that?) is also earlier than a couple of weeks ago

Oh absolutely. Yes, it is grey and dingy all the time here at the moment, feeling distinctly wintery - chilly as well... definitely not August weather.

I've still got the fans on but I put that down to the menopause!!
I love snuggly winter days but, equally, I love hot, lazy summer days.
All I all: I just love living!!

Love all the seasons!! Having lived in the Far East & Middle East in the 70s & 80s I missed the all various weather we experience in north-east Scotland! Four seasons in one day sometimes, but adore it!!

It feels like the time for me to put leggings under my trews ?

I’ve never stopped….maybe I need to swap the leggings for thermals though.

I did think of looking for a cardie last night!

It’s all to do with the angle of the earth but please don’t ask me to explain it ?
I'll ask DH but we could be listening all morning Tizliz ??

I like the cosy evenings of autumn and winter. In summer I feel a bit guilty if I am not doing something when the sun is shining still at 9pm.

I've noticed too Mawbe, it seems to have happened suddenly.

It's too hot for my sheltie's beach walk during the day so I've been going in the evening at 7 pm, I normally stay about an hour. It's only a ten minute drive but I don't like driving in the dark any more.

When it’s sunny where I am, it’s still light earlier and stays light longer. These cold grey days mean what MawBe said. Dark before nine.☹️

My garden has been looking autumnal for a few weeks now. The sun although very pleasant has certainly 'lost' its heat. Even darker days ahead. Yes, I find it all too depressing. This is not entirely about the weather either.

I hate to argue too and I have no heart for it tonight, so I will just accept I got it wrong!

We noticed leaves swirling down from the trees already as we drove home today.

Yes, we noticed that tonight. I don’t usually mind the onset of autumn and winter but life is so weird these days that I’m not really ready for it yet.

Autumnal here been replacing annuals with evergreens. Pretty cold tonight.

It does seem to have arrived suddenly, feels very Autumnal at times too.Although today from late morning onwards was very warm and sunny, first thing and last thing feels very cool.
I already miss the lovely light evenings.

Just to be awkward, I love winter much prefer it to summer! ⛈??

Aye Maw, the nights are fair drawing in!
As I'm further north than you, it's darker even earlier here.
Also, there was a real nip in the air tonight. Brrrrrr!

Sending you hugs, Maw.

Hate to argue but I understand that until 21st Sept Scotland is lighter than England but then changes more rapidly, until 21st March then it gets lighter quicker. However we were just commenting on how dark it is tonight and we are in the far north

So so depressing

Totally with you on that one. God I hate winter. So long and boring with that wretched festival in the middle…

It’s damp and cold and I was complaining about the heat weeks ago! Now I am dreading the long and miserable cold months of winter.

I agree about the suddenness Maw, I think it was Monday, 8:30, ok so a cloudy day, but still, drawing the blinds, strewth.
