Happy Solstice

[michaellxv]

Looking for something to be cheery about with all this gloomy weather around at the moment.

Happy Solstice Everyone :stargaze:

Happy solstice right back at you Michael! :jump::jump2:

I guess that calls for a glass of wine to celebrate. I don't need much convincing so am off to refresh my wine glass.:D
Cheers. :cheers:

So we have 'turned the corner' and are heading back to summer? Great. Looking out the window, the day is glorious with a beautiful blue sky but the wind has a real bite. The liitle rhyme my father used to recite comes back to me. "As the days lengthen so the cold strengthen." :cold::cold::cold:

Actually, the solstice day is the beginning of winter and I'm not looking forward to summer. Too cloudy, too rainy, too hot, too cyclone prone. Total astronomical washout for 7-8 months of the year.

We usually have a solstice bbq for a bit of a laugh.

We gave it a miss this time around with a temp of 1.0ºc and a wind chill of -2.5ºc in 20kph winds. :cold:
:windy:

Cheers,
We've got summer with 25°C and clear skies (moonlight unfortunately).
Happy solstice! :)

And today will be 8 seconds longer than it was on the 21st. :thumbsup:

You can really notice it, can't you. ;)

Was it the night or day that was longer? I am trying to work out whether I am more or less tired.:lol:

[Ric]

I'm pretty sure it's the day Trevor, so you'll be more tired. :lol:
