Same, I only like it in late autumn and early spring when it's weak.
Somewhat related, but did you know that retinol above the 0.3% concentration was banned in the EU last year because Dutch people couldn't be arsed to put on sunscreen after using it? They think they don't need sunscreen when the sky is overcast over there, and their skin cancer rates shot up through the roof. So now the whole union is being punished for their foolishness, and my skin will never look as good again.

We need trees. Trees cool the ground, they eat carbon dioxide, they emit oxygen. They provide fruits and nuts. They give us pine straw and leaf litter which enrich soil with compost. They are what children used to climb on and swing from before there were video games. They are a renewable source of energy and building technology, but they must be renewed by replanting and regrowth.
I think that I shall never see a used car lot, or a fast food drive-thru as lovely as a tree.

I have a preference for evenings, nights, and overcast days; my diabetes and its medications have accentuated photosensitivity in me. These days, especially during the summer, I frequently nap during the hottest, brightest part of the afternoon.

The sun is from where all blessings flow on this planet. Fossil fuels are just stored sunshine. But we know now we can use the sun to make useful energy directly without burning anything -- wind and solar power.
I have used my solar laundry dryer (my clothesline) since 2008.
With my heat pump I heat my home with free heat put into the atmosphere everyday by the sun.
Yep, the sun is my buddy.

I love the different shiftings of sunlight during the seasons and during the seasons. However, a gloomy, rainy day has its own special charm. When it is sunny in the summer, I feel like I should be outside doing something. It depresses me after a few days.
I remember one summer in New York City in the early 90s when it was cloudy and/or rained every fucking weekend for the whole fucking summer. Monday - Friday would be gorgeous when I was stuck in an office. Come Saturday morning, the clouds would return and stay all weekend. Never got to the beach once that year.
