Winter Solstice

Yesterday marked the shortest day in our austral winter, with sunrise at 7:38 am and sunset at 4:49 pm; it wasn't too bad a day at all, however, being fine and 8-16°C... I even went walking around the Gorge, such as I haven't done for ages given the early evenings, rainy days and work fatigue. Unfortunately, next comes miserable wet and foggy July, then still cold and unpleasant August, before things brighten in September.
