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.
