Not sure if it's the case elsewhere, but here (Southampton) it's
incredibly dark for the time of day (0845) - I know we're now getting
towards winter, but it must be more than an hour after sunrise - and
in the south of England it's rarely this dark this late even in
December.

Just dull here, not dark, but I was woken up by thunder this morning! I woke
up, wondered why, and then heard a rumble of thunder. Checked the time and
it was ten to three. I couldn't really believe it then and don't see that it
was possible. Perhaps I'm suffering from a deficit of thunderstorms this
year and my subconscious is supplying them for me when my resistance is at
its lowest.

For some odd reason - perhaps someone will enlighten me - we put the
clocks back approximately one month after the autumn equinox but put
them forward more or less around the time of the spring equinox.

This ensures that towards the end of October we get dark mornings,
with sunrise times only about 30 minutes earlier than those at the
winter solstice.

We used to put the clocks forward at the beginning of March, but then
Brussels forced us to delay the light evenings until the end of the month.

I'm sure Italy used to (in 1992) put their clocks back at the end of
September. Did the Maastricht Treaty alter this?

It's a misty to me. Funny how water is transparent until it is
vapourised. 4 or 5 kilogrammes a gallon and there it is, glom.

For some odd reason - perhaps someone will enlighten me - we
put the
clocks back approximately one month after the autumn equinox
but put
them forward more or less around the time of the spring
equinox.

This ensures that towards the end of October we get dark
mornings,
with sunrise times only about 30 minutes earlier than those at
the
winter solstice.

I don't know the reason, but I am very glad that that is the
case. I much prefer light afternoons/evenings and dark mornings
to lighter mornings and darkness in the afternoons.

I'd opt for double summer time all year round if I could.
