With you on this Lenny. Hate these dark evenings.

That's why in 49 days I'm outta here for 6 weeks in Thailand

Wouldn't spend a full winter here again and as I go mid December I don't get caught up in all that Christmas shopping hassle.
May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

With you on this one Lenny

I hate this time of year going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark.

The only good thing is shooting season starts on Thursday so be warned anyone on DNS, I'll have me gun.

If you drive around the Ballyboughal area and see a fella in army combats coming out of a ditch -wave -it could be me

Ah Lenny, don't start with the Christmas countdown. We haven't even done Halloween yet!

I don't mind the dark evenings so much, it's getting up for work while it's still dark that kills me. I'm not a morning person at the best of times so for me, that's the most depresseing thing of all!

Dark evenings can be a pain but winter has its advantages too.  Nice long evenings to relax and do the things we wanted to do in the Summer but never got around too.  A time to reflect also, to thank God you have a roof over your head, shoes on your feet and a meal on the table...........................so its not all darkness - always light at the end of the tunnel.

Depressing ? no  Enlightening yes.  So enjoy each season as it comes

yep, love the seasons, especially Autumn. Put the lights on my push bike today, just finished cutting out the pumpkin - looks great, will take a pic during the week.
As for Christmas, I ignore all the hype and rushing around. When I see something that'd make a nice pressie, I'll get it and keep it till Christmas.
If you want to see madness, go into Smyths or the like in a week or 2 and watch people panicking.
(mind you, on second thoughts I'll probably be there on Christmas Eve panicking)
Think I'll check out flights....
