Yesterday was the shortest day. I wonder if it was the shortest day all over the world? Please excuse me if that is the daftest question you ever heard. I really don't know the answer, but there is a little voice in my head, telling me that I ought to know. Honestly I never even thought of the question until just now. The answer is yes, isn't it? Isn't it? I'll just google it. Sorry to bother you. I'll get my coat!
The fact that it was the shortest day, is wonderful. It means that the hours of daylight begin to increase. More time to spend outside. Hey it will soon be Spring! Fantastic! Then Summer! Perhaps I should not be wishing my life away like this. But I can't help feeling; roll on Spring.
Hold on, I just had another thought! How can there be a shortest day? Surely there are still 24 hours in it! Why do I confuse myself like this?
I do know one thing that isn't confusing though. This is my shortest post of the year!
Talk to you soon.
Bye for now.
You will stop spinning your brain soon and have another eggnog. That is a lovely picture. Did you take it?
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the shortest day, but I do know that the longest knight was Lancelot!!

Alas Emma, I cannot claim the credit for the photo. I just googled sunrise.
ReplyDeleteI love your witticisms Jane. No really I do!
short but sweet. I'm all for working our way back up towards spring time too
ReplyDeleteWe've had some long ones here! Have had some days of 86 degrees and it hasn't been getting dark until 10pm. Starting to enjoy our summer! Have a super Christmas! Most unusual indeed to get such a short blog from you!
ReplyDeleteA short post for a short day. I've been thinking much the same thoughts about the shortest day. As soon as it's over, they'll all start getting thankfully longer.
ReplyDeleteWell here Down Under we have just had our longest day and now they get shorter as we move towards Autumn. Love your header. Whose house?
ReplyDeleteIt's an illusion.... surely. The hours are the same, as you say, but daylight makes the days SEEM longer. I too loved that picture. Oh to see sun rays like that.
ReplyDeletePS, yes I did write the little poem.
diane b: It is my ex partner Tricia's house, where she lives with our extremely handsome son George.
ReplyDeleteWell now, you've gotten me all confused! I don't think we had a shortest day yesterday, but I do have a shortest post today, too!
ReplyDeleteMERRY CHRISTMAS, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
You are funny! If it's summer in the southern hemisphere, it must be their longest day, yes?
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays John! Have a good one :)
