LONGER DAYS

Dusk in Denmark varies between about 3.30pm in the dog days of December and as late as 11.00pm on long summer evenings. Because of this year's unusually cold winter, the lengthening days have snuck up on me. We are already more than halfway between the shortest and longest day; and after the time change of last weekend, it doesn't get dark until 8.15pm.

Mentally, I still think the day is over by 6.00pm. I need to adjust and get cycling.
