Crazy Scotland. You forget how far north this place is. It'll be light at 3.30AM too.
Flipside it it gets dark at 3.30PM in winter.
I could sure do with some longer days at the moment.
Dark by 6pm is very restrictive.

After about 2AM when the post pub folk have all cleared off/stabbed each other/been arrested.

.....:D they were my memories from the street below the London hostel i was staying in. Come 5ish the street cleaner would zip along to remove the broken bottles and blood stains, then they would repeat the whole process again the following night.
How long have you been in Scotland for?

I only just got the damn trampoline finished this weekend cause of daylight deficiency this past month! Can you imagine how the poor kid has sufferred looking out his bedroom window at a birthday present he can't play with because I haven't had the right nut driver to put up the poles for the net?
After all that anticipation, it was good for all of 5 minutes before he spied some puddles that he wanted to play in instead. Shove that mastercard moment up his jaxy! :thumbsd:
