Summer's on its way!!

[jonny jeez]

Ok so I'm a week or two early...but I just cant wait!

We are always quick to spread the doom and gloom that "The nights are drawing in" pretty early, so I thought i'd get the sucker punch in first.

Summers coming, the nights are getting shorter, daylight's on its way, warm bright mornings, birds singing, short sleeves, beer in the garden at 10.00 at night.

Yipeee

I reckon by the end February I will be no longer commuting in the dark, both morning and evening

 

[fossyant]

You been on the beer already ?

 

[jonny jeez]

Well...it is Christmas

[G-Zero]

Not it's not!

Ooooh yes it is


.... I'll get my coat.

Jonny - if you think the nights are getting longer and it's Christmas already your clocks are running seriously fast!

Can't wait though. Don't care about the mornings but I hate the dark evenings.

December 22 officially.

Though it's less than 2 weeks away before the days start getting longer so I'll let you off.

 

[Blue]

Yeah, but it's about a month before any real difference is noticed.

Don't wish your life away; stay in the now. Life is too short for anything else.

Hail, rain, sleet all day. Some clear sky now.

I worked for a while with a dour Serb from Capljina. It was very snowy and dark in the winters and she'd stand by the fire escape drawing on a vicious-smelling cigarette. She was either working or smoking.

The jolliest thing she ever said was early in the morning of 22nd December one year: "Day's are getting longer then..."

As soon as she'd said it the grim face went back on and another painful drag was taken on the ciggie.

I'd have loved to hear her say in June: "The nights are drawing in, then...." That might have been even better.

 

[Mr Celine]

The nights actually start drawing out again from the 16th, but the shortest day is the 22nd and the latest sunrise is the 29th.

But its the end of January before I'll notice any difference and it'll still be cold and wet.
