So here in Staffordshire, it's been twilight all day, cold and raining.
Just think how miserable it must have been (or still is!) for those without
proper houses and heating! Or in the trenches in WW1?

It's very hard to stay motivated, and I wish we could just hibernate.

I heard one opinion that this is why the early Christians stuck Xmas near
the winter solstice, to take advantage of an alleviation of the winter blues
and to have a much-needed feast!
