I wish...

...I could keep the same distance from the Sun all the year round... :'(...!

It was -2 Degrees C, with a Frost, in my back garden this morning, and its only going to get colder as each day passes, for the next 3 Months, or more!
I'm dreading the approaching Winter, and the enormous fuel bills which accompany it!
At least 6-9 Months of every year are spent huddled-up, trying to shield myself from the cold!

I need the Sun following me around, at the same distance from me,

A nice 65F (18.3C  ;) ) here in the pacific northwest of the US.  But in a month it will drop to 32F.... And then even colder than that! :(

Phase II...

The weather had got a bit warmer by early afternoon (2:00 PM).
It reached a staggering 10 degrees C, so with a clear blue sky, and brilliant sunshine, I donned my thermal underwear, wheeled out my trusty steed (Yamaha RX-S 100), topped up my fuel tank with

Oh no... Science conundrum!

We are closest to the sun during our winter, but furthest away during the summer (I guess you probably knew that already with the cold weather

Over here in England, most of we Oldies die of cold in the Winter, (rather than falling off Motorbikes), mainly due to the high cost of fuel bills, desperately trying to keep warm and alive!

When you reach my age you will be glad of a bit of warmth....

Alex, I don't care what they do on Mercury, or which way the Earth is tilting, I just want to sit in my back garden and be basked by the warmth of the Sun, for most/all of the year.
