Make the most of it...

...Chums!... ...!

Today is the Summer Solstice; 21st of June.

The longest day!..... ...

(Actually, its still 24 hour long, it just means that we got the most; "daylight").... ...!

Tomorrow, the days (daylight) gets shorter, and the dreaded Winter is on its way again, for we Northern Hemispherical Folks... ...!

(Southern Folks are looking forward to Summer!)

I'm off on a Motorbike ride now into the land of Own Glendower (Wales) to meet up with fellow Bikers to celebrate the Solstice....

(...any excuse for a rave-up, and a pint!)..... ...!

Have fun in the extended daylight!

Paul.... ...!

Enjoy your ride Paul...

Old Girl and I are going to stop at the bugsmasher field on our way to the old homestead for a BBQ.

The Old Girl should be home from church by 10:30 so could easily be in a bugsmasher by 11:30 with one of my Old Retired Rocking Chair Flying Geezers who is looking for someone to take aloft...

Good-on-ya, Doug!

Just arrived back home after a fantastic ride, to meet up with my fellow Biker Chums!

Popped into the local shop on the way back, to treat myself to a Father's Day, Fray Bentos Steak and Kidney Pie for my Dins, and a bottle of Australia's finest Red Vino to wash it all down!

Lots of Father's Day cards from my brood!

So, altogether, a fabulous Father's Day, and Summer Solstice Day, all rolled into one!

What could be nicer!

Glad you had a good solstice ride.Bitterly cold here
for the southern solstice.Where I live it is usually
about four degrees colder than Canberra.

I sympathise with you, Anthin....

The older I get, the more I am affected by the cold.

I hate the Winters and the cold. It gets into my bones!

Like a Butterfly, I need light and warmth...all the time!

Paul.... ...!

Dull and overcast here, at the moment: Mid-Summer, 13*C, rain 40% likely; a day to stop in and play with my toys...and cook a nice dinner!!

Thanks Fozzer.I also have got to the stage where I
feel the cold.I walk around the house in a winter coat
and gloves.It is like living inside a fridge.You think growing
up in Canada I would be used to bitter cold but I was young
and the young can take it.

These days I leave the electric blanket on all night.The only time
I feel warm.

Yes, sir... until the rest of the year is about over, you're getting the daylight knocked out of you...

:whistle:

For me, that is the most depressing part; the 22nd of June, onwards.

Each day(light) getting gradually shorter, up until the 21st of December!

....when it starts all over again!
