I just adapt to whatever the season is. 
 

I love nothing more than a really cold dark winter night and going for a walk down to the pub for a few pints to warm the soul. Something about coming out the pub into the dark night that I like. 

Oh aye. Bit like coming out of the ground from a night match. Sounds seem amplified.

Also enjoy getting the stove on; must have inadvertently watched many hours of flames instead of looking at the telly. Mesmerising.

I am finally retiring mid October, as I did not fancy working another Winter, and dark nights (which I don't like), and certainly not another Christmas (which I like even less).

I've been working since 1971 so I've done my bit, and it's taken a worldwide pandemic to get shut of me.

Good luck. Keep busy, especially as you can't stand up yet at the ground. :)

Retiring into the dark nights, or are you heading away for the winter?

I can just see him taking on the presenter role on The Sky At Night:

"And now on BBC2, it's The Sky at Night"

Cue portentous music.

Casino: "Hello and Welcome to the Sky at Neet. With me I have celebrity astronomer Brian May."

Brian May: "Good evening. What are you planning to observe tonight? I have heard that Mizar and Alcor in the handle of Ursa Major's plough are favorably resolved even to the naked eye, on this crisp September night in Bury..."

Casino: "I'm not going out there, it's too fucking dark."

Cue portentous music.

I like winter and the long nights. Similarly I like summer and the long days. In summary I don’t mind what time of year it is.

You need help. Give me balmy light nights till after 10pm, light mornings from 5am. Sunshine and beers are a match made in heaven, i hate the cold/damp/darkness of winter - it’s shit & has no place in a civilised society. 😄🌞

I once got told off my gaffer, that i would have to do a night shift underground because the regular bloke would be unavailable, i told him i was afraid of the dark and only do afternoon shifts.

Same age as me mate. I was planning to finish at Christmas but the Covid thing has put it off till next spring. There’s bugger all to do and travelling is out of the question at the moment. Good luck though. 49 years of putting in, you deserve something out.👍

I wouldn’t describe Super Trouper as portentous.

We are GMT, just fucking leave it at that.

Stop fucking about, it is pointless these days, the weather fucks up farmers crops miles more than an hour either way.

Generally my view, but I tend to wake up with the light, which would start about 2.30 in mid-summer!
