Happy December 21st

At long last it's here one of my favourite days of the year - The Winter solstice. This day has a massive psycological bearing on me as I hate the winter and today represents the shortest day of the year and the longest night. As from today the days get longer and the nights get shorter as we head back towards the summer and the chance to play cricket and all those other things we love doing. Good ridance winter hello Spring and summer unless of course you live in the southern Hemisphere and you're looking now at the long haul into winter!

For us summer now approaches and I can't wait!

Re: Happy December 21st

:) Its strange how little people knew it was the shortest day when i was talking about it today. If im right its about 14 weeks until the start of the cricket season?

Happy 21st :)
 
Re: Happy December 21st

14 weeks of the weather potentially getting better and brighter and drier - let's hope we have an April like last year and a better July and August. Is there an official week that sees the start of cricket?
 
Re: Happy December 21st

I only like the hot sunny weather for sport, otherwise i'd rather be in Winter.

What can i say, i'm depressing.
 
Re: Happy December 21st

No sod that, I'd get SAD or whatever it's called, bring on the summer in any form or send me to Portugal or somewhere nice for the winter - can you imagine that Cricket here all summer and surfing all winter in Portugal or the Canary Islands, you can keep your frost, fog, snow and cold - I hate it.
 
Re: Happy December 21st

My birthday is on the 21st June which is the longest day of the year, and today is my half birthday which is the shortest day.
 
Re: Happy December 21st

Quite happy that its the 21st, not least as I've finished work for 2 glorious weeks.

Can't wait for the evenings to start getting lighter, makes life so much easier.
