The Winter Solstice......
.....is here! Or Summer Solstice if you're in Aus....... 
Anyhoo, it's now the shortest day of the year, and come Wednesday the days will be getting longer again.......
So for those of you who suffer from SAD, just a few more months and you'll see the icicles on the ends of your noses thaw before your very eyes! And for those of you who are seeing your last ever British winter.......'Here comes the sun, do do do do, here comes the sun and I say, it's all right! ' (sorry Cas for those gratuitous Beatle lyrics!

Glad my b/day was not on the shortest day!
Soon, we'll all be in the place where the sun shines brightest, where the wind is warm and the earth sings with life.

Re: The Winter Solstice......
And theres Erasure's 'Run to the Sun' they released a few years ago...
Its amazing that on this high summer's day here in Perth, the sun is litterally above my head, so unlike how I see it in the UK at an angle.
