Not exactly the fear of the dark

I'm not a fan of waking up in the dark (which we've been doing for a couple of weeks).
I'm even less of a fan of leaving the house in the dark, which will start next week.
Thankfully the clocks go back a few days later, and I get to leave the house in light again until the grim reign of darkness in December and January.
