SOLSTICE AND EQUINOX

      I usually write about the solstice and equinox. I am fascinated   about the position of the sun and length of day. This year  I said ,"I'll skip it."

    Well you may ask why  you're posting now.

    We had a very rainy dark solstice. The usual long evening was  very dark and dull. The sun sets around 10 PM. But this year is was not a pleasant sunny evening at  all.

    We had rain and the cloud above us  would probably have been ten thousand feet.

    So I will take advantage of all the long evenings left . Tonight I went on a three Km walk in pleasant sunshine.
