Winter Solstice

[Venod]

What irritates me is that its only 2 months since we put the clocks back, but its 3 months before we put them forward, sunset here is 1 minute later than yesterday.

Who's doing what with the extra second this evening?

Mornings still get later for a while though.

I just wasted my second before it arrived trying to remember whether it was the mornings or the evenings which still get later.

Mornings, but you get the extra second this evening.

Why don't you all do like i do when you're feeling down on a wet dark miserable day,and go into the local cemetery and think about all those you knew who are now dead. That should cheer you up!!

Not only humans,but animal life and plant life suffers from the lack of sunlight this time of the year. I've been feeding my palm tree extra rations of banana skins to boost his potassium,magnesium and vitamins B6 and B12 levels. It's his first winter outside,so he's going to need extra mollycoddling! If he hadn't grown so much due to that long hot summer i'd be tempted to take him to the local sunbed salon for a boost.

Another SAD git here, but today sees an improvement, psychologically speaking, as we soon start to head for lighter, warmer days.

In fact I'm off to India again for 10 weeks in 10 days time, so I'll be all right thanks, Jack!

Bad enough the the nights are long and cold. Christmas bills coming in too!
Sometimes I feel like escaping it all on a flight to somewhere warm from Gat... Damn

You get the extra second tomorrow, not today.

You spoke too soon they've been grounded again

At least there's a decent moon tonight! Give it 2 weeks and the night will feel more 'extreme'

Extra second? I had an extra 109 tonight.
Sunset was at it's earliest on the 14th -

Compare that with today's -

So sunset 1 minute 49 seconds later than last Friday.
Sunrise was however over 5 minutes later. The winter solstice isn't until 22:23 tonight.

[QUOTE 5477367, member: 9609"]I have just been out and rang the bell 22:23hrs that special moment has arrived., the sun at this precise moment in time has done an about turn and is now heading back towards our hemisphere, and we are now in the true season of winter and the days will slowly but surely begin to lengthen.[/QUOTE]
