There's a day every year that I really don't look forward to, and it's always a Monday. To be precise, it's the Monday after the Friday you got up when it was already daylight, but during the weekend something happens so that when you wake up on that particular Monday, it's still dark.
That, for me, irrespective of the actual date, is when autumn starts. And it was today.
True, the darkness had some help today from two quarters. Firstly, unlike most Monday mornings where we're quite content to hunker down under the covers and listen to the radio before deciding we *really* can't leave it any longer, this particular morning we both leapt out of bed on the dot of 6.30. And secondly Manchester was living up to its reputation as the Rainy City and was sitting under a blanket of thick black cloud that was busily dumping its load on the early risers.
It was black. Autumn is here.

my alarm goes off at 6 a.m. workdays and it's been dark when i get up now for a couple of weeks though it's light by 6:30. Getting depressing though innit
It certainly is :-\
I hate those blinky few moments when the light first goes on.
There should be an EU Directive banning rain on a Monday morning.
