Weather

It’s been cold for a few days here and my son and DiL’s boiler has broken down. Although the boiler man came to repair it today it needed yet another part which he has to order. I can’t even suggest that they come here with my little grandson until it’s mended, so they’re having to rely on a couple of electric heaters. :(
 
In this postcode in Nuneaton, Warwickshire the evenings start getting lighter on the 16th December and the mornings get lighter on the 6th January.

I had this conversation with someone at work two years ago and they simply couldn't comprehend that although the 21st December was the shortest day, it didn't mean it was the day with the latest sunrise and earliest sunset.

For me, it gives me hope, once we are past the 16th December things are on the way up!
 
Last night was the earliest sunset here at 17:29; it starts getting later again from tonight. I compared to my sister in Surrey and hers is currently 15:53, eugh! Her sunrise is a little earlier (7:58 vs 8:13). Our sunrises start getting earlier on 6th January, too, hurrah!
