I've suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder since I was 15. I will never understand all those softcocks who say things like 'I love autumn'. Why? It just means it's going to be dark, cold, wet and contain England cricket defeats and Ipswich b*ggerng up their season again.
It's gotten more manageable over the years - I take a vitamin D supplement when and I'm working and having a dog means you HAVE to go out and keep a routine, but I still actively dread November through to March.

I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.
Interestingly today onwards sunrise and sunset times are 7 h and 40 min apart every day until Sunday so I guess they are marginal gains for the first week or so.

Thank fook for that.

Yes it's all of 2 seconds extra daylight tomorrow, we only gain a minute by New Years eve.
Interestingly, well if you like this kind of orbital mechanics thing, actually sunrise gets later and sunset shifts correspondingly later with only a tiny gain, but it's not till first week of January that sunrise starts to get earlier again

Very interesting feature on this on R5l a few days ago. I thought I was imagining it when daylight seemed to be marginally extending in the afternoons from about the 14th onwards, c. 4.15pm. I often walk the mutt in last hour of daylight, so notice it.
Prog said that it's true afternoon daylight extends from about 14th on - whilst morning daylight actually continues to diminish. The unevenness is all down to the Earth's tilt, and increases/decreases are v. marginal, 1 minute a day at each end at this time of year.
But it's the general direction that counts so yay, the December Solstice is better than Christmas Day as far as I'm concerned

I agree, winter solstice is better then Xmas. I suggest instead of celebrating the birth of a semi mythical magic baby in the Middle East we go back to celebrating the winter solstice, the beginning of the end of darkness and the coming of the light

In astronomical terms it's related to the shape of the analemma (yes, that is a real word!)
