Quite like the look of this, in Wicker Man kind of way.
What is summer solstice like in your area @whiterussian? Do you get, like, super-length days?
Thursday was yesterday.
Presumably you’re trying to argue that today is the middle of a summer that began on around about the 6th May?
In the north, yeah. Oslo’s not much north of Scotland, but according to my weather app the sun will set at 10:43pm and rise at 03:54am.
Everyday’s a super-length day in the Vale household (*Moonwalks out, high-fiving etc etc…)
eat more fibre
oh no, I’m not trying to argue anything - merely stating it as a fact! Three months a season, each with it’s midpoint on the solstices/equinoxes. That’s my view.
ok, but if the midpoints are that way, it means summer is roughly 6th May to the 6th August, etc
I am willing to accept the consequences (realistically, I’d allow a little bit of flexibility, give Summer until September. September definitely is Autumn though)
Iirc, the pole they dance around represents a penis because of fertility and so on. Crazy Swedes, eh?
for some reason the office i’m in is having summer solstice drinks at 3, never been a thing before but i’m certainly not going to turn free stuff down. or an excuse to not do work.
That’s because Summer starts at 16:54 this afternoon, when the rate at which the length of day shortens, begins to increase.
Indeed.
I met some English people who live in Norway a while ago and they said Norwegians like to joke that Swedish people are idiots, please confirm?
Oh absolutely. The first jokes we learn as children are Swedish jokes.
Because Norwegians aren’t clever enough to come up with their own?
Oh Epimer.
Also, let’s give the thread back to hoogy shall we
Did you hear about the party in a Swedish bingo hall?
It was an ABBA Dabber Do.
Did you hear about the tiny flat pack cushion that devoured a storage chest?
IKEA little pillow ate an ottoman SCARAMOOSH SCARAMOOSH etc.
I’ve got work to do. Bye.
Do NOT rush back
