Yesterday was officially the Longest day of the year. Apparently the sun rose at 4.58AM proving that we are placed, this fine small land, on a high lattitude. This evening I took a train home from London at 22:12 and the sun was only just going down.
As always thousands of people gathered traditionally at Stone Henge to see the Sun make its earliest appearance. From now on it will be later & later and get darker earlier and earlier. I have never worked out how the longest day can be in June yet it gets hotter in July & August. The weather has been perfect, in the twenties all Month. Everyone just loves the Summer. Just 8 Days until Pride. Like everyone else I am so looking forward to it. Pride just seems to be one of the funnest days of the year. Keeping my fingers crossed the weather stays fine for it all and counting down the days now until Dusan finishes his contract on the ship! Been desperatly trying to decorate the bedroom in preparation. Somehow pink & yellow wallpaper doesnt do it for me and im sure he wont like it either. When I told him the colour he laughed as I accused him of being a Lesbian when he painted his bedroom Purple when he lived in Borough. Its an old joke, Lesbian Purple. I dont even know where it came from. Amazes me how Dusan remembers all of these things. In his Email this morning he was talking about how we were drinking Absolute Vanilla back in 2003. Cant wait to be drinking it with you again babycakes. So cant wait for him to come back!
