Just wanted to point out..

...that its 5.07pm and I can still see light on the horizon.

Definitely staying lighter for longer.

Being a clear day here, I was surprised when I'd dog walked after getting fuzzies in and it was still just dusk at 4.30ish and not pitch dark, thought I was running ahead!

It was pitch black by about 4 here! ? Serves me right for moving to the bliddy Arctic circle (nearly ?)

Definitely lighter later here tonight, too. Clear skies and a perishing cold wind, mind, but I’ll take that . The nights are drawing out, woo hoo!

 

[teddypops]

Yeh, we noticed it lighter today too?

Agree on the wind! I got back from my hack feeling like I'd had dental anaesthetic on one side of my mouth. Couldn't feel my lip at all!

 

[ponynutz]

Got dark at 3:45ish here haha!

 

[SEL]

Noticed it was lighter when I was poo picking just after 4 - and the Ardennes has started coat shedding!

 

[AmyMay]

Yep, noticed that too arriving home this evening ?

I love my sunrise/sunset app at this time of year, it keeps me cheerful.

Dare I say that mine’s started shedding his coat... ?

I only just learned this week that because of the shape of the earth's orbit, or the wobble, or something (OK, I wasn't listening that carefully) the evenings start drawing out before we even get to the shortest day! I definitely feel like I've noticed it as well (or at least I've definitely noticed it since I learned it was a thing ?)

I must lead a sad life, I get almost as excited when we reach the shortest day as I do about Christmas, and not just in this strange, subdued year.
