    :sad: British Summer Time ends on Saturday night. Clocks go back an hour. That'll make it dark by 5.30 next week.

      But that means we get an extra hour of beer time on saturday.

      But yes, I hate the dark nights. I spend too much money cos I get bored and order stuff. Or take the lad to the amusement arcades.

        No, it happens at 1.00 am the following Sunday morning, not that I'm staying up for it, and animals will still expect to be fed at the same times.

            The up side of course being that it will make the mornings lighter. :)
            Suits me, I've been getting up in the dark for the past 3 or 4 weeks now. :yawn:

            Was that a negative, lolimac!!!:lunapic 130165696578242 5:

            I'll just keep plodding on and keep myself busy learning Photoshop during the dark hours, and experimenting with my camera and different lenses with whatever light we get. The garden never really shuts down in the Winter so there'll always be something to watch or job to do, it'll be just me working up the inclination to go out in the cold.:coffee:

                      So we've started compiling a list of things to do on a winter's night then?

                      That one's going to take some beating! :snork::hate-shocked:
