How are you spending the summer solstice?
Jeff Wrangler:
In three weeks it will be Midsummer Day--I mean the Summer Solstice.
The year will be half over already.
This year the approach of the solstice is giving me a feeling that--I don't know--I guess I could use the old-fashioned word melancholy.
I'm not sure why. There is probably more than one reason. ???
I'm certain it has something to do with the days beginning gradually to be shorter. :(

Thanks for the heads-up. I think there's a movie called Midsommer, I'll look for it. Or we could watch "Midsommer Murders."
Although my first thought was, "It's only May and yet the Shorter Days Moaning has started already."

I started my own personal Shorter Days Moaning last night. :laugh: And ahem, it will be June tomorrow and the solstice is just three weeks away.
My son took a date to Midsommer and regretted it during the very first scene and beyond. Apparently it's pretty creepy.

Meanwhile, there's another movie called Melancholy. It's not particularly creepy -- although it's about humans on earth awaiting their imminent destruction by an asteroid, so not exactly cheerful -- but the director, Lars von Trier has done some of the most creepy movies out there. I mean, I haven't seen them so maybe I shouldn't talk, but what I've read about them makes them sound so creepy I've vowed not to see them.

There's some time before the shorter days start....I know, I'm counting. ;D

You're just weird. Go back in your coffin. We'll wake you in October. ;D :-*
