summer solstice
I have been truly happy today. My reason? Nothing really, just a bit of longed for warmth and sunshine on my skin. Or is it too much to ask and expect in this new age of austerity.
Summer Solstice, Midsummer's Day, beginning of Summer, longest day of the year..
What I find puzzling is how confusing all this is. How can a 'mid- summer' day be also the first day of that summer. What's more: if it's the longest day, then surely it's downhill from here, at least with regard to the amount of light. So more like the beginning of the end, really.
Anyway, faced with a huge budget deficit of my own, and hence no fancy holidays this year, I hope there will be more happy days like today this coming (or is it going?) summer in London.
And today, there is still time for a glass of Pimm's before the sun goes down. True bliss..
