Solstice

The summer solstice is today, the longest day of the year (in non-leap years it is the 21st).

For many it is the first day of summer. Where I am, the temperature is forecast to reach 35 - 37C (95-100F) so we are hoping summer isn't a lot hotter than this.

The very name summer solstice makes you want to howl at the moon or commit some pagan act, but I expect I shall have an early night.

GIVEN A REPORTED Syrian shooting down a Turkish F-4 jet fighter over The Med - HOW DOES DAMASCUS now define "deep doo doo", TIM?
