so once again we have gone through this ridiculous clock changing business in Britain, with the result that eternal night has set in for the next five months. i really hate this time of year, and the light just makes it worse. it is meant to be lighter earlier, but that does me no good as i still end up going to work/ Heathrow in the dark. and the night setting in around 4 just makes the day seem to disappear. at least during the work week it doesnt seem to matter so much (i leave work as i arrive- in the dark) but at the weekend it is lethal. On Saturday i headed to the West End to meet some friends for a drink in Soho followed by a meal in Chinatown. by the time we got to the bar, it was pitch black. we had a couple of drinks and everyone seemed to be tired and yawning. it was 6pm. by the time we left the restaurant, it felt like the middle of the night, but it wasnt. time seemed to be evaporating in front of us...and yet it was still dark again when i got up the next day.
i get up, log on to british airways's web site, and book tickets to the Caribbean. i can feel that winter urge to escape Europe approaching.
