solstice sunrise

[adelaidesean]

Happy summer solstice for tomorrow, everyone! (Unless you're in the northern hemisphere, of course.) How are you celebrating?

I'll be watching a live streaming of the first rays of the winter solstice sunrise streaming into the burial chamber at Newgrange, if I can work out the time difference.

(Thanks to APOD for the thought.)

I will be making a batch of sickeningly fattening treats for my workmates as Xmas gifts. I've decided that rather than work on reducing my own bulk, I shall concentrate on fattening up those around me instead. Such a cunning plan can't possibly fail!

Hurrah! Great plan. I wish could fall victim to it.

I've been mucking around with chocolate-making recently, but eat far too many of them myself to keep it up for long.

[catsparx.livejournal.com]

I fear there shall be extreme collateral damage from the exercise...

If only making sugar-free nut and grain snacks was half as fun...

[catsparx.livejournal.com]

I am making some healthy nut clusters too.

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

That's one mixture I'd be less tempted to dip my finger into. Unless the clusters were, like, glued together with chocolate.

[catsparx.livejournal.com]

there's white chocolate drizzled across the tops of them...

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

That's not chocolate.

But I'd still eat it. :-)

I'll be at work.

Ah. That's not so much fun. What about the pretend-solstice eve (ie Xmas)? Will you get time off then? I'm DJing, and would say for you to come along if you were in the state.

[shadowsandice.livejournal.com]

Working then too. A-bleeeeh. May all your solstices be mighty funky.

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

:-( I hope you'll be dancing on the inside.

Sadly, I'm back in Perth. If I was still in Alice, then I'd just pop up to the Tropic of Capricorn and look at my tiny shadow at midday.

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's a shame. Something we should all do at least once in our lives (like seeing a total eclipse, but less dramatic).

Happy Solstice back at you :-)

For me the solstice is also close to the 6mth since birthday mark - kinda like a end of year deal (I then spend the remainder of December having to remember the calendar new year is yet to actually you know...occur *lol*).

So it's manic up until today & then a day of taking in the energy (hmmmm, perhaps like Jan. 1 *shrug*).

Chocolate fudge was indulged by some you know last night too. Only a couple more batches to go (the biscuits, almond bread, chutneys & relish have been done & dusted prior).

Enjoy the sunset (I'm so not a morning person *lol*)!

1. Watch out for snakes.
2. Take a rope.
3. And plenty of torches.
