10:20pm now and it's gone pretty dark again. I don't know about you but this year the days definitely don't seem as long as this time last year.
It's getting dark at 10pm and it's pitch dark by 11pm. Doesn't help that the evenings have been so cloudy and rainy lately, I haven't seen a sunset for weeks...
I remember last summer I was lying in bed at 11:30pm and there was still a bright glow in the north west. Not like that this year
Last year it was twilight till midnight and even then I remember there was a very deep blue tinge in the sky. Beautiful. Not like that this year
I remember last year even in May marvelling at how the twilight was still in the sky so late, but frankly this year, I'm disappointed.
Worse thing is it will be the solstice in a weeks time and then we will be on the long descent back to December. It will soon all be over
It's felt quite wintery today as well. Certainly not June Weather. Most people wearing jackets/coats. Might as well call it a day for summer and put the clocks back, jam the heating up, shut the curtains and put the lights on.
