    Lucky you seeing the sun. I am sick depressed with these long lonely dark wet days, six hours of leaden grey skies and eighteen hours of darkness, I HATE this depressing winter weather, . If it would even be just a few degrees colder it might snow which would at least create some brightness with some white snow on the ground to reflect what limited sunlight gets through. I would much prefer to spend this time of year in sunnier climes, but patience will bring happier times again. I find myself counting the days till spring - when all the outdoor events begin again - roll on the first lambs and daffodils of springtime!

    well as my uncle always says(before a shift in a the pissing rain ) "your skin is waterproof"
    some of us have to work in those conditions whether we want to out not you just have to make sure you have plenty of hot food/drinks and lots and lots and lots of humor to get you by ,
    ever tried welding and digging post holes in the rain i dont recommend it if yer not getting wee shocks off the welder then yer arm is deep in water scrapping out the wet muck ,
    nothing worse than soaking through top yer underpants just for a few extra quid

    sounds like you have S.A.D alex ,i try combat S.A.D with plenty of natural light i dont fall for those gimmicks of spending 100 quid on natural daylight units but i do have two aquariums with 2 daylight natural bulbs in each tank given me that much needed extra light when times are dull

    Spring will come, it always has. In the meantime, look at the bright side. In your preferred habiliment, deep water won't get your pantlegs wet.
