So much for daylight savings time

This morning I had to put the light on to come downstairs for the first time in almost 2 weeks. Similarly I also had to put the light on in the kitchen. So, more energy used. 

Now this evening I won't be leaving the curtains open/lights off for longer, as the direction of my house, and the fact that the sun is still quite low in the sky, means that it will be dark in the living room when I get home. 

Yet another reason why I can't see the point in changing the clocks any more.
