Winter Solstice

In what can be described as feeling like the longest year ever, I am happy that Winter solstice is finally here, marking the day with the least amount of light before the earth’s axis starts tilting back to summer again.

Winter Solstice

It seems ironic that at the start of the year most people were sick of hearing about Brexit on the news and were wanting something new in the headlines. I guess you should be careful for what you wish for. Interestingly both Brexit and COVID are about to cause a major clusterfuck at the end of the year with no imports or exports into the UK due to COVID and the (oven ready) No Deal with Europe.

It would be hard to believe that 2021 can be any worse.

Unfortunately for most in Scotland we will not be able to see the great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn tonight, it’s very cloudy, I actually wonder if it was cloudy on the night 400 years ago when they last met like this. I look forward to the videos and photographs tomorrow!

After the year that has been we should take a moment to acknowledge the solstice, knowing that the darkest day eventually leads to the lightest.

September

It’s now late September and even my cat, Jura, is wondering if it’s safe to come out yet.

Is it still 2020?
