Happy, happy, happy, happy. Just submitted my last piece of feedback to students (save for some late submissions, but those won't arrive until August). A mammoth task done, the pub beckons!

And the reverse to the Southern Hemispherists, who can now look forward to better things. I don't envy those who were at Stonehenge this morning, in the rain. Can someone please explain to me how a solstice can occur at 23:59?  |

Happy Longest Day All Northern Hemispherists. In particular to Mary, her son and soon to be daughter-in-law for a happy and celebratory Midsummer Marriage.  I hope they have more summery weather than we have here today...nice weather for ducks.  Thanks George, you cuddly little wolfikins. I do hope Milly's better. I've had 3 days of not doing a lot (except coughing and sneezing and posting here!) then was up and about yesterday afternoon but surprising exhausted and had wobbly legs by tea-time. Ooops wrong thread...Feeling bit happier today. |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

The solstice will occur when the projection of the earth's axis onto the plane of the earth's transit points directly toward or away from the sun. That could be in the middle of the night for us, if the earth happens to be that far in its spin.

 We extend our embrace of benevolence also to the people of Singapore irrespective of their latitude: they too have earned a special place of affection in our bosom. |

Seconded!  When is the happy day? My sister is getting married next Saturday, it's obviously that time of the year ... Edit: I've just read over some recent threads I hadn't caught up with yet, and discovered Mary's son's is today. Hope it's all going really well, despite the rather grey weather! I'm sure it is! |

Happy longest day to all.....
I have a special seat in my garden for the very occasion of sunset on 21st June. (I also can see the shortest day sunset from it if I stand on it !)
However, today I fear there is little chance of seeing a sunset at all - I cant even see the wind turbine 300 meters away due to thick drizzle & fog!
Ah, well !
I do hope Mary's son had better weather for the BIG DAY !

I hope it all went well, Mary, and even more hope that your son and his wife have a loving and wonderful life together in future and a cause of happiness to you.
My mum had sent a cheque to a distant relative on his wedding and I saw his charming thank you note. He wrote of his wedding day "It was the best day of our lives." This made me sad and thinking, Is it all downhill from now on? What the kind but sentimental young man meant was "It was the happiest day of our lives so far."
