Time to go on holiday then, where it gets dark earlier and when you come back it'll feel like it's getting dark later. That's my plan anyway."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

I always find it slightly depressing that the longest day occurs so early into summer. That said, it's a nice feeling when a few days before Christmas they start getting longer again.0

Not quite true.
It's the sunrises that get later to shorten the day. This happens for about a week and then the nights start to draw in too, but not as quickly as the mornings. The opposite happens in December.
But it's still a sod.

Move to a country above or below 33 degrees latitude, you don’t get anything like as much variation in the length of the day / night. Or move to the arctic circle / North Pole where you can get up to 6 months where the sun never truly sets completely over the horizon, it’s a bit more complicated than that

But to all intents and purposes, it’s pretty much the case.0 -
The sunsets on the equator are amazing. One moment it's daylight; then it's dark. Scary until you get used to it.0
