Unbelieveably dark day here. It's hard to tell if it's still dawn or
dusk has come early. The drizzle isn't helping the dreary outlook
either. It's just relentless here. Surely there must be some sun this week?

I now what you mean!
Unbelievable how dire the last two months have been, after such an historic
December.
Really hoping for some Spring like weather next month, with some welcome
sunshine to make up the last two dire efforts!!
Last bit of sun here was on the 14th, can't see a fat lot next week but at
least it will be a lot warmer!

Brigthened up here a bit in the last hour but certainly not mild - 4.1C 20
minutes ago.

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...

Still a very cloudy couple of months overall here though.

Not pointless if you are an extreme morning person like 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 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.

I'm a lover of the early morning daylight as well. I'm usually up and about by
6 a.m. or earlier. It's the best time of day as far as I am concerned.

Dave you should try living on Dartmoor?

Dense fog today all day (50 metres) in Haytor.
Everywhere is sopping wet, even vertical surfaces.
It is not unusual and you have to get used to it up here, at any time of
year!

Yes but it suits. Towns not so nice in that!
And Col - 10pm not early? I haven't been to bed as early as that since I
was a child or ill or drunk! I tend to go to bed late these days, at
about 1.00 a.m, which is also quiet,with few distractions.
Although up at about 8-8.30am (Except early golf day Wed) I do whole
heartedly agree with you and wish I did get up at dawn in the summer and
get out in the country early. In fact once we do (if?) get some decent
weather down here I will make that a late New Year's resolution, I think.

Actually, I would love to. Mrs.C not so keen to be separated from
children, grandchildren and perhaps I am too old to uproot.I have always
wanted to live just inland from somewhere like Sidmouth, more mellow but
within reach of the wilder places.

You are a night owl and I'm an early bird, that much is obvious!

Going to bed at 1am, I can't imagine staying up until such an
ungodly hour! Well actually I *can* because I have tried to modify
my sleep patterns to make them more conventional. I've forced myself to
stay up till one in the morning but still ended up waking at 5am.
But I don't get enough sleep that way and I end up feeling horribly
tired the entire dnext ay.
At the end of the day (or night) I have to listen to what my body is
saying as to when I should be asleep. I can't fight it and ultimately
I have to accept that I need go to bed early and get up early.
