I took this picture at around ten minutes to ten last night. The resulting picture was a bit darker than reality so I have lightened it somewhat and this reflects the sky as it was at that time. Isn't this the best day of the year?
I awoke at three yesterday morning and while there was much cloud above in the distance patches of light blue were seen as dawn approached. What a great sight! After I took the picture he sky remained remarkably light for a considerable time and had I stayed awake I could have watched it until it disappeared. How such sights have come to mean so much to me. Simple things mean a lot. I would love to spend time in the north where six months of daylight exist, although when the winter darkness arrives I would be off! How can folks endue such a long darkness? It turns them to drink, drives them mad, and must have a detrimental effect on all aspects of life! Not for me thanks!
From now on the nights are drawing in and darkness threatens us once more also. Not quite in the manner of those in Lapland but bringing accidents, depression and cold weather. You can tell I am feeling real cheery this morning can't you? In fact yesterday was very warm and bright, today looks similar so far. It is so bright out there I may even stir myself sufficiently to turn off the world cup and go out into the bright world. Well, maybe I will just think about it for a while longer. You can never tell quite what is out there can you......

You're in a fairly good mood? Surely the end is near, but that's not a bad thing to me. For I've had enough of this world.
Will you be watching the England game on Wednesday, auld fella?
I'm still suffering with my longest day. I was up early and the time went so slow and now I've just sat through 90 minutes of dire football by England against Germany. Those 90 minutes went so slow. I start work at half seven tonight so I've still got four and a half hours of tedious boredom before my longest day finishes. Today is the longest day for me.
Martyn, How was your day today? Mine was quite good. No England flags to be seen anywhere today!
