Happy Summer Solstice!

Happy solstice to you.

On the winter solstice I take solace in the fact days will be getting longer. But why bring myself down on the summer solstice. So I keep happy knowing there are many months of sun still to come.

*cough*

Winter solstice today for some of us.

Happy Winter Solstice!

Days are going to start getting longer now!

It's so hard to believe the days are now going to get shorter. Just a few weeks ago, we had frost at night. Well, okay, about six weeks ago, but still....it's hard for me to wrap my brain around how this is the summer solstice.

And yet it is.

I hope everybody enjoys this magical day. To celebrate, I made a video.

Well, ok, not really. I just happened to do a video and it was finished today. But still...The Earth is an amazing, living organism.

Happy solstice one and all

Happy solstice everyone. There's still daylight until after 11pm around here. Might have a BBQ this weekend if the weather holds good.

Special wishes to anyone doing Ramadan in the more northerly latitudes, as it's coinciding with the solstice this year. Apparently there are around 1000 Muslims in Reykjavik, where they can only get to eat for 2 hours in the middle of the night!

*looks outside at the completely cloud-covered sky* Happy summer solstice to those who can see the sun. And happy winter solstice to the southern hemisphere!

Turns out today is also World Selfie Day.

*takes a moment to reflect (back at myself, apparently) on the sad state of humanity*

World Selfie Day? There is such a thing?

*preens*

Let me get my camera!

I'm sure that class didn't conflict with any football or basket ball practices, though.

I couldn't get into a frat because I drank too much.
