Those that don't know, should.

Well I don't know specifically what the OP is referring to but I do know that in 10 days (from yesterday) it is my aunt's birthday and the summer solstice so that's two possibilities, granted very slim but you never know.

Someone's slacking on the job!

[JohnM]

Understandable, really, given that the nights are drawing in......

Maybe he’s started the festivities already

Not 'til the slacker clocks in.

As I understand it the recent Summer Solstice occurred at 15:57 last Wednesday. Now I'm thinking that one second before the solstice it hasn't happened yet and one second after it is no longer solstice ie the sun is no longer at its highest declination above the celestial equator. So why is the timing of these events not given to the second rather than a minute? 

This is a genuine question BTW but advice on tin foil hats and Eton educated space lizards will be gratefully accepted.

Following on from this, Is it too late to get the Sprouts on?

Maybe a tad too late, I heard ont wireless yesterday that it's 5 months till boxing day. Perhaps one of those new fangled air friers on full belt from now on may just do it

We got one of them, the air out of that fryer is like normal air but warmer, bit like Greek air but without the barbecue smoked flavour.

It's gone now till September

Bit late to this but the earliest sunrise and the latest sunset don't happen on the day of the summer solstice.
