It’s that time of year, at 10:22pm today she turns around and starts the journey back to us.
👍
Yes
Woo Hoo
Be glad to see her. 🙂
Lovely stuff.
😎
I was just thinking this. Up here I the NE of Scotland at the moment it feels like it doesn't get light some days.
" let us witness the reincarnation of the sun"
👏
Oh yessss.
😎
You mean we return to her...she doesn't move, but we rotate/spin/wobble...
Hurrah.
Yay - there should be some sort of festival at this time of year to celebrate...
she doesn’t move
The sun (along with everything else) is orbiting around the centre of the milky way galaxy
Tell that to my KTM... I've ridden it once since buying 4 weeks ago !
Amen juanking. Feels like it's always dark this year for some reason.
Thank God getting very sick of pre 4pm sunsets.
Interestingly (maybe) earth is closest to the sun in January, furthest away in July.
Needs a rest after this summer
Interestingly (as well as the fact above) the earliest sunset was a week or so back, and the latest sunrise is around the new year.

Give it a Zwift session, if it fits your turbo. 😉

Also interesting to me (and my moods) - while the summer and winter equinoxes get the attention, it's the Spring and Autumn ones that affect me most. Because if you actually take the daylight hours (D) on a per day basis (broadly a sine curve), and take the first differential of that to identify the rate of change of daylight hours on a per day basis (the equiv cosine curve) - then it's in the Spring and Autumn that dD/dt is a maximum and minimum, and that fact makes me happy / sad accordingly.
(In layman's terms, in March the days are getting longer at their fastest. At his time of year it's dark in the morning and evening, and it'll be the same last week, and next week, and you won't notice the difference. But in March.... it'll be dark when you set off for you Weds night night ride, but next week they'll be a bit of light in the sky at the same time, and the week after you won't need lights for the first part, and the week after you can almost do the first hour without, and so on..... and that when it really feels she's properly on her way)
Every season has it’s beauty, I love them all and never yearn for more, but a special thanks OP, for not posting up that twee mintsauce cartoon. 😉
Always lifts the spirit when we turn the corner.
”let us witness the reincarnation of the sun”
Funny word that, "reincarnation". Turn it back into meat?
Lets hope she’s as hot and beautiful as she was this year!
Meh, She can stay well buggered off until we have had some proper bloody snow, appear briefly to show her face around July then have the good grace to clear off early so that poor Autumn doesn't have to hang around the door looking sheepish.
If shes as good as she was last year?
Well, that'll do for me..
Turn it back into meat?
in this instance it's Latin, so the Latinate/Romance languages (French, Spanish) use the derivative word as meat (Carne) but in Latin it means Flesh. So more accurately; "returning into the flesh" I knew* Latin lessons would be useful, little did Mr Street know that in 30 years, I'd be able to come across as a bit of geek on a forum...
*No, no i didn't. I hated Latin...
”let us witness the reincarnation of the sun”
Nice reference, one of my favourite tracks.
👍
But... The cold wrath of winter has yet to unleash it's biting cold upon us.

Anyone actually seen the sun recently?
I'm always happier when things are improving, even if it's a very slow change this time of year.
As a fully paid up member of the 'I hate Xmas brigade' (I don't really) I love to say completely stupid things like "it's beginning to look as lot like Spring" when it clearly isn't and "Only 70 sleeps till Spring" when 'sleeps' of course if only a measurement of time if you're a small child who doesn't yet have a firm grip of time or an idiot.
I love Autumn/Winter if it's bright and fresh but this grey soggy mess we seem to get is pretty grim.
love the bridleway gate on that pic

Ah, but are they not the same thing? Mr Pownall would be shocked but pleased to know that I remembered the German word for meat is Fleisch. 🙂
Hooray, Summer! Except for those awful desert boots she appears to be wearing... What on earth was JB thinking?
they're Timberlands
And girls in summer dresses and big boots are the sexiest. It’s a well known fact!
(Unless it’s Cathy Dennis wearing jelly!)

6 more months and the nights will start drawing in again 🙁

Same here, but in my case it's a Yamaha. Tomorrow looks ok though so will try and get out - I'm itching to ride the damn thing!
