Strange thing to say in March, maybe, but the progressive and steady
worsening of the weather over the past week, with the worst weather of
the day always occurring towards the end of the day, is giving that

doubt the sun's gone down already...


Yes, I was about to put the lights on when I noticed it was only twenty
past four.


I had the light on all afternoon. Otherwise I would have struggled to
see to do my crossword. And besides it's depressing to sit in
semi-darkness. It's not unusual for me to have to do that in November,
December or January, but a rarity in mid-March.
