The living is easy

Yesterday was the summer solstice. In fact, it was yesterday at 12:26 pm. That means that yesterday, if you happen to live on the Tropic of Cancer (and you know who you are), the sun appeared to be directly overhead at midday.

It also means that if you happen to live in London, the sun came up at 4:43 am and went down at 9:21 pm.

If you do happen to live in London, the likelihood that you were sitting in a pub at 9:21 pm watching the end of a soccer game is pretty high. Even if you’re not a sports fan.

A little after 10:00, however, I was walking home, when I took this picture. And there was light in the sky until after 11:00.

Night has its appeal, but the long, slow dusk of midsummer is really pleasant.

That's so sweet, Marty. Sounds of crickets, tree frogs, oops, sorry, not in London.

Hmm, and what - pray tell - happens at an establishment named "Venus" at this hour of evening?
