Unsecure chicken perches

Anyone else think it went dark early tonight?

 

I realised at around 6.05pm that it was no longer daylight and went down to let the girls have a suppertime forage, they could hardly see.

 

It is now 7.11pm and black as pitch out there.

[Snowy]

Yes! I noticed at about 6 ish as well as we take the boys to beavers at this time, and I thought how dark it was compared to this time last week when we walked down in sunshine!

[Shirl]

Wow really? I didn't notice at all! I think I was busy trying to get the kids to eat dinner still.

[Looney]

Yes, I really noticed it tonight. Soon I will be going to work and getting home in the dark....well, until I go on maternity leave anyway!

[Griffin]

I noticed it on Tuesday because I leave for the short drive to work at 6.10pm and I had to use my headlights for the first time

[Olly]

I know. I don't usually get in till about six, and there's barely time to let the hens out for free-ranging. It's going to be weekends only now, till about March. In the winter I am going out and coming home in the dark.

[The Dogmother]

I noticed it tonight, but then it hasn't really been properly light today any how.

[Plum]

Roll on Spring. I hate these early nights and when does the hour alter to make it worse.

[Cinnamon]

I have noticed for the past week or so,as I work from 5-7. It is now very dark when I finish.

Of course it will soon be dark when I start to which will be very odd!

[Lewis]

We noticed this week too.

Had practicals on the other campus till 5, came back on the bus and within half an hour it was dark!

It's been about a week here since I thought "good grief, it's black outside and OH has already gone out to work!" in the mornings.

 

I'm trying to stay happy about winter and have bought a mulled wine scented thingie for the back lounge, started lighting the candles again of an evening which together with one soft lamp and the coal fire give it a lovely glow (aided by the fact that in my wackiness I pained all walls and ceilings buttermilk yellow, save one which is a deep terracotta - meant to be blood red but wilkos paint let me down!)

 

There's no way of disguising or cheering up a dreary bleak morning though in my book. the day just gets better as it goes along.
