It''s definitely darker...
Sex God
Quote by de_sade
So with this in mind anyone else out there noticed a change in the light quality already? Mourning the imminent end of the Summer? Ready and willing to accept the Autumn with open arms? Already in preparation for the Winter?
Just wondering...
Yes, I've noticed. Yesterday it was quite sunny and hot here but just not 'sunbathing' sunny, somehow - it does feel as if summer's gone and autumn is with us. I'm not mourning that, mind you - I love autumn and winter. The only thing about winter is that I'm even more likely to fall than I normally am!
yep, out and about on Monday evening and the cars approaching us had their headlights on already. It was only :cry:
I normally love the changing of the seasons - particularly Winter to Spring and Summer to Autumn but as we've not had much of a Summer, it makes Winter even less welcome than usual.

Definitely. We've been noticing how quickly the nights are drawing in already. The street lights have been coming on earlier and earlier - last night it was just after eight!

And it's staying darker for longer at night.

Don't you just love closing the curtains/blinds (OK I still haven't made the curtains) and shutting the world out?

Yes, lighting candles snuggling beside the fire, locking the door and nothing can harm you.. yes I love that!

Spring by far my favourite season - full of expectation renewal and vigour. I think it's also the least predictable season. And to me the best thing its the breeziest. love spring.
Going on from that with your thing about light in general. Have people found like I have, that this year has been generally very dull and grey and that this has had a knock on effect mood wise? S.A.D possibly?
Whether cold or warm i find the light level makes a massive difference. The lighter the day the lighter the mood.

I have noticed too, i work nights and finish at 6am it was only a couple or so weeks ago when it was bright day light when i came out of work when i came out on monday it was still dark, funny thing is i never noticed it being that kinda not quite light but not dark bit it seemed to go from day light to night over night

I think that S.A.D. is one of those things that people say they have, when really they're just miserable. Like some people say their kids have ADHD when really they just can't/won't discipline them. Or people who say they're dyslexic just because they're crap at spelling/grammar/punctuation.
I like Autumn, cos then it's only about 5 months til Spring!! :bounce:
Although I do tend to drag Summer out a bit, and refuse to believe it's over just yet - even if it is dark Not until the clocks go back do I admit that it's Autumn.
Mind you, I do like it, love the fantastic colours, love cool fresh weather. In fact I love all weathers I s'pose, enjoy em all ......... in their place!! Rain all bluddy Summer isn't particularly fab
I say all weathers - that excludes drizzle, can't stand drizzle It's so bluddy wet :shock: Not even proper weather! It's like the sky thinks it really should rain, but can't be bothered, it's too tired to do proper rain, so we end up with drizzle
So I'll enjoy Autumn, and Winter (although would enjoy it more if we got a proper one with snow, haven't had a proper layer of snow for about 15 years
) - Even dank January - March, at least they give you the anticipation of Spring, watching the evenings once again drawing out :happy:

I agree. Also those who say they have RSI just because of a persistent ache somewhere.
That's not to say that there are genuine sufferers from all of these things, but lazy use of these terms is definitely to be discouraged.

As my granny says,
'Och, the nights are fair drawin' in...'
Is that just a Scottish expression?!

Oh and people who say they have a migraine when they have a headache and flu' when they have a cold
I did think the other day that dark was definitely approaching quicker and staying longer. Going to find winter hard this year as we haven't had a summer
My W looks forward to the long nights. It means more time for her to use her telescope, looking at the stars, no not you sassy.
As for SAD, W does get sad in the winter, but she has improved since we put up the conservatory. W can be found setting out there even when it is cold and/or raining.
As for myself, winters are not like they used to be. I remember sliding down snow covered hills on plastic sacks, never feeling the cold. Now snow just means I must make adjustments when driving. Sliding is just not what it used to be.
As for autumn, it is time for me to clear the fruit trees, no longer time to throw apples at other kids. What ever happen to youth?
Oh yes it is getting darker.

Has she been diagnosed with SAD by a doctor? And maybe this is a daft question, but what difference would a conservatory make?

No not diagnosed by a doctor.
but sun light triggers chemical activity in the body, reduced exposure in the winter months can effect mood.
I will however concede that there may be other possibilities.

Self diagnosed then - she could just be miserable. Not necessarily linked to the seasons. Could be hormonal.
You can get vitamin supplements for the vitamin provided by sunlight (vitamin D, I think - stand to be corrected though).
Still wondering what difference the conservatory makes? There's still less sunlight in the winter!

I am just happy there are less winter time blues. I do not like her being unhappy.
I'm sure I'm affected by seasons (and no I haven't had it medically diagnosed either).
I lived abroad (during winter) for a little while in a house that had glass entirely on one side of the house and it certainly had effect on moods. I wasn't a miserable moo for the entire stay, like I normally am. So I can relate to why T-mans wife felt better being able to sit in a conservatory. :smile:
Yes, I'm sure other things had an impact on how I felt but more light even in winter helped a lot.
I would love to *feel* like I'm outside for most of the year unfortunately cant have a conservatory or I would have got one by now!
Ive tried the daylight bulbs etc etc and they do help!
