Rant number 297
Regarding the title - I would just like to make it clear that this rant is not about twilight as in 'I really love vampires but I'm sad and I have no facial features.'
If you would like to read about how fantastic twilight is and how much I love it - please follow this link
I'm talking instead about this time of year.
I actually really love the autumn. It has a special smell about it - all cold, crisp and woodsmokey. It's also chilly - which I actually kind of like. I hate feeling too hot - because you can't do anything about it most of the time. If it's cold though - you can warm up easily. You can put on the heating - cuddle up under a blanket or whatever.
The downside to this time of year however, is the perpetual twilight (not that - although that is fucking shit!)
I wake up each morning at around 7 and open the curtains to subdued light and the grey of the dawn.
As I commute to work - the light has managed to halfheartedly force its way through the clouds just enough to highlight the fog and accentuate the gunmetal grey of the perpetually steel sky.
I sit at work and through the window see the sky blooming from grey to white for a while.
Then I drive home and - by the time I get home its dark.
It's only at the weekends I actually get to see something approaching daytime - and that does mess with you somewhat.
Rant over.
