She's Four!

It's June 21, the summer solstice (or the day after depending on how
you reckon it) and Nina's fourth Birthday! I'm laboriously putting
togethr a new photo album to mark the day, but it's going very slowly.

Mainly because my brain is melting from the heat which is in the high
90's, today. It sure FEELS like a summer solstice. And of course,
because it IS hot, Nina is in a very cuddly mood. But although she's
getting lots of scritches and attention in honor of the day today,
she still feels like a heater in a fur sack when I hold her. =o)

Nina here. Honestly I've ALWAYS had four feet! I don't know WHY it
took Meowmy so long to notice! Hoomins! But she bott me a new green
straw as a burfday present, so I guess I can forgive her for being so
slow. Now it's time for another session of beeing all flat. It's HOT,
today

Nina.

Hoppy Purrday, Nina! My, has it been four years already since you
surprised your Meowmie? Time does fly.

The *civil* day begins at midnight (00:00:00). The *astronomical*
day begins at *local* noon - that is, ignoring any daylight
saving time. Astronomical days lag behind the civil day.

Sunrise at Stonehenge in 2008 was approximately 03:45 UTC
("civil" time) on 21 June. This is equivalent to 15:45 on 20 June
in *astronomical* time. Hence the confusion over when the longest
day occurs. The longest daylight hours, therefore, are during 21
June as normally perceived by the great public - but the solstice
actually straddles two astronomical days.
