I am not a fan of this time of year - so miserable to get up in the morning to darkness, and now at 4pm, is dark and wet and cold outside. The dogs and I went for a brief blow around the streets earlier, and of course it helps to get out even when the weather is grim. I decided to treat myself to a daylight lamp which i can put on when I am having my breakfast - is very bright and somewhat harsh but it does definitely remind me of the sun. So far only had it on a few days, but will see if it lightens the dark mornings in terms of mood. I bought my daugher an alarm clock/ lamp a few years ago which starts to light up and gets brighter minute by minute also using the daylight spectrum, birdsong also plays and gets louder - she says it is much nicer to wake up to than some harsh sound.
Spring will come, only 14 days to shortest day.

Oh Norbs, I felt the pain of the hormone injection with you. I can't remember if I told you or not, but they have decided I am not to stop mine for at least another 5 years,.....more determination to be here to see it stopped.
The lamp sounds like a good idea ownedbystaffies my daughter works in an office with no natural light. She leaves for work in the morning in the dark, and comes home at night in the dark, its not nice. I do like the cosy nights though, with the Christmas tree lights on.
