Shorter Days, Earlier Nights.

 The might of light.

The clocks went back on Sunday and just like that we've hopped an hour back. Driving home from Kohfidisch this afternoon was a lesson in time-change.

My onboard clock-sounds rather flighty, doesn't it?- hasn't been adjusted yet and I don't think it will as it is too laboursome to do. Also it helps me keep one foot in real time. Real time that explains why all of a sudden an afternoon's shopping expedition of half an hour morphed into a dusk excursion.

Gosh, at first I got a bit of a fright and wondered if I had dawdled a bit too long in the supermarket because dusk and rain in October is not a pretty sight.

Look, soon we will all be adjusted to the shorter days and in about a month's time an afternoon will stop at four as it changes to an early evening. No in-between it seems. Light and suddenly dark. Once we get used to the cold and shorter days it actually is a nice time of the year.

Winter helps us unwind - going out when its cold and grey isn't as enticing as it is during summer - and this winter especially so. At least this dreadful virus is forcing all of us to practice some soul TLC and lets us discover the utopia our homes actually are...
