Can't wait. I'm sure I'm not alone in hating dark evenings!

I thought it was lighter this evening!!??

I know it doesn't change equally at both ends of the day.

Does anyone know? Do the nights draw out or the mornings, first?

You're quite correct - the evenings start getting lighter on 11th Decemeber (by fractions of a minute though so I doubt you've really noticed), but at less of a rate than the morning's are getting shorter hence why the shortest day is on the 21st. It's to do with the sidereal day and all that good stuff

Regards,

tiggers.

<chuckle> I have these visions of a bunch of pirahnas some time in mid-January huddled in a corner of a tank, going "oh no, not turkey AGAIN...."
