Unbelieveably dark day here. It's hard to tell if it's still dawn

Your easterlies are my southwesterlies and vice versa according to
reports on here it seems ! ;-) So probably better for you this week,
but hopefully not too bad here as the pressure is fairly high.

Cloudy (mostly) but not dull today - indeed it seemed to get light
very early, though the mornings are drawing out fast now. Indeed, by
the end of this week we're already into "pointless" (pre-7am)
morning daylight - maybe the clocks should go forward on the first,
not the last, Sunday in March...

Not pointless if you are an extreme morning person like me.

Therein lies the difference I guess - I'm not an extreme evening
person (usually in bed by midnight) but I find the early mornings not
easy - I cannot make myself eat before about 8am for example. On the
other hand I do appreciate the hour we're in now being sunny rather
than this godawful gloomfest we've got today...

8am?
That's practically lunchtime for me

I'm usually awake by 5am and in June I can be up and
bouncing off the walls at 4am or even earlier!

I'm often awake early in the summer but it's the unfeasibly-early
sunrise which causes it ! :-)
I love the quiet of early summer mornings. Several hours of
daylight yet there's noboby around to enjoy it. I guess if
there was it wouldn't be quiet
Watch the sunrise on June 21st? Been there, done that....

Cancel BST is what I say, I don't go to bed all that early,
say 10pm, I don't seem to need much sleeep but in June
it's still pretty light at that time.

Would be ok in June, but imagine how the character of say April and
September would change if sunset came an hour earlier! An April with
it starting to go dark by 7pm would feel completely different, and not
in a good way...

I wasn't serious about cancelling BST, but I wouldn't like the double
summertime idea that is doing the rounds at the moment.
