Sunset in mid-March


sunset over neighbor's garden, 5:33 p.m.

Today's sunset was not as spectacular as the sunset in mid-February but it happened a full one hour later.

Even though the daytime temperatures are around 4 C/40 F, they go down to below 0 C/30 F during the night. It's been also very windy today, as well as yesterday. So last night I gave in and turned the central heating on, although initially I planned to leave it off for the night. I'll be trying to cut down from the current four to only two or three hours of heating in the evening before I go to bed, although ideally I'd want to switch it off entirely until next fall. I hope I will be able to do so in early April at the latest.
