Summer Solstice
Dec 21^st, 2024 at 6:20am

Argh, aye - now be time for more light to fall on Ozpol cellar dwellers.... those lucky souls who live in the fortunate times of having wiser heads to belay their rampant thoughts with reason....

On top of that - it's the Summer Solstice - and from now on our light will fade slowly while the frozen North's light rises and maybe less snow will fall in Britain.

Jesus - this DNA thing is amazing - they've now narrowed a third of my ancestors down to the Orkneys - I feel privileged.... not even the mainland of Northern Europe or Scotland but a Nordic mix as we all know... sea wanderers ...

Arhhh - be Orcadian.... and a few other things.... I have got to be a ring in given that my grandmother's father was pure Irish...

Yes - you don't bog down in the frozen mud - your tyres break on the hot ground.

Bloody hell - same strains as Norway (again), Greenland and such....and migrated Scots.... Orcadians... what happened to the predominantly Irish? They can't even see my grandmother's line - the only Irish they give me is the great-granny on the other side.... from Killarney .... I have got to be a ring-in ...

In 2020, Moscow was 7.5 degrees C above average'. The Russian government has approved plans to adapt to climate change, mostly caused by Ukraine ammunition worth $Au200 billion.

You are mixed up:

What happened on 14 June 1946?

A total lunar eclipse took place on Friday, June 14, 1946. The northern tip of the moon passed through the center of the Earth's shadow. This was the first central lunar eclipse of Saros series 129.

Yep, and we've felt every minute of it today.

38 degrees and there's more to come.

Perth Forecast

41 tomorrow and Monday!

Hey, look... 23 degrees forecast for Christmas Day. We have to go to Mindarie (36km north of Perth City and right next to the ocean) at 5pm that day for a catch-up and meal with friends.

Could be a bit cold. Might have to take a jumper. Grin
