Is it that time already?

What time is that then?
It's the winter solstice today if you work on GMT
and are only interested in the time of sunset.

 

I'd better check to see if anyone remembered.

 

Remembered what? Bloody wimmin, never get to the point....

Merry Christmas.

 

Molly emerged from their own little world to say

So, how many times have you been 21?

 

Bloody men so insensitive ;-) I'm a year older.

Really? I would never have believed it, you look so much younger every
day!

HUH??

 

Molly scribbled on the back of a napkin:

Well, conga rats then.

 

No it isn't.

Whole new definition of winter solstice there.

 

Earliest sunset December 13th.
Latest sunrise December 30th.
The solstice is halfway between the two.
The day length varies throughout the year due to the
eccentricity of the earth's orbit so the government
adopted an average or mean daylength (The mean in GMT).

I'll celebrate midwinter at the earliest sunset, GMT,
when the woods are not full of druids.

 

Hmm, OK I will just about give you that, however I always thought it was
the 21st

 

Aw bless.

No, no, keep it on.

 

I'll let you know when I get there.

As did I. Generally 'cos it's my youngest brother's birthday and it was
a good wind up that he had the shortest birth *day* of the year.

 

Happy birthday then.

 

Ah, yes, happy closer-to-death-day

I can now gladly report, thanks to the power of the quesy inducing
*500mg* antibiotics, I can now breath again and feel less like death.

Although moving house whilst needing the antibiotics is not something I'd
recommend.

 

Oh heck already! Happy Birthday )
