Perhaps spmewhat off-topic, but interesting to note the progress of
sunrise (or lack of it!) and sunset up here. Today sunset is given as

however, is still 09:02 - an advance of just five minutes!

IIRC, for most parts of the UK the earliest sunset is around 13th Dec,
and the latest sunrise around the 29th.
Still can't quite get my head around the theory of it though!
