Just to remind you all that tomorrow is the 'shortest' day. After that we get a chink more light each day and we can look forward to spring again!  Nice.

I read that the solstice this year occurs tomorrow morning at 5:30 UTC, so not sure how that translates. That web site predicts the end of the world next year, on the winter solstice (21st Dec 2012). So it's just about exactly one more year before life is extinguished on this planet.  December 22 is a Solstice Day in 2011

But still I can't help teasing folk with "only X days to winter solstice then days get lighter"
ps: crystal swingers predicting end-of-world...again - WOW |

Although I do like winter, it's always nice to know that we've passed the longest day - it means we're getting closer to the dragonfly flight season!
As for the world ending on 21st Dec 2012...
