Happy solstice!

Today is the winter solstice; the shortest day of the year and the first day of winter. Due to subtle shifts in the Gregorian calendar some sixty druids got confused and showed up a day early at Stonehenge. It is not exactly the time of year one wants to spend an extra night on Salisbury Plain.

Today's sunrise: 0803

Today's sunset: 1553

At least tomorrow will be longer!
