Summer is over now

I am feeling pretty grim about going back to work, what with no more bank holidays to christmas and and the evening getting darker sooner, there seems to be less time in the day to do anything worthwhile or personal - especially during the weekdays.  I need something good to look forward to - holiday, time off or just a quiet sit down some place with a book and biscuit.  Hang on, all those options involve not being at work - hmm - I figured out why I feel so glum after all.  The changing rhythms of the year are always painful no matter how many times you experience them.
