Mid summer evening by happypat

Mid summer evening

It was so light last night. I went outside around 10.15pm & took this photo, you can see how light it was.
All down hill from now on!
Summer Solstice.

Three good things:
1. Dirk the plumber had to return this morning, just something that needed re doing & the same problem cropped up on the last toilet, I think they all came out in sympathy & the last one thought it needed a bit of attention too! Five in all so he's had his work cut out!
2. Stocked up with books at the library.
3. A whole fresh pineapple!
That's amazing to be that light that late... we never have that much daylight.. pleased all your plumbing is up and running again... I do love real pineapple... and the best pineapple I have ever had was fresh from the orchard in Queensland.. that juicy you just about had to eat it in the bath..

I am enjoying my last week here in the northern hemisphere and the lovely evenings. I am down at Stratford for a couple of days and the weather is amazing. We have been so lucky during the whole 6 weeks

@cruiser I'm glad Chris, the UK looks lovely if the weather is nice, weather makes all the difference!

Hard to believe but good to have this photo as a record! You have 5 toilets?? Thats very special! Love that feeling of unread books and also agree a whole pineapple is far more juicy!

We don't get long evenings like this here in Oz even in the middle of summer.

I stirred at 3am today and it was light again. Not sure it ever really went awayy!

Amazing having all these light days and nights so difficult to sleep BUT I am not complaining !!

I know, I commented last night too cos we were going to bed whilst it was still daylight! It has been a glorious year weatherwise up to now hasn't it!

Love these light nights and early mornings. Trouble is I get up if it's light and take the dogs and then I'm ready for lunch at breakfast time!!

@thistle He he that is a downside of getting up early, you feel you never stop eating!

@lyndamcg @beryl @lyndamcg

Yes aren't they short days, always seems to be light. I was up at 4am this morning taking an ibruprofen tablet (see today's post) & it was just lightening in the east.

@casablanca Can't remember if the days are longer in the north or south just now but it was never like this in NZ. Light. Seems to end quite abruptly there.

@maggiemae Yes five Maggie, B&B has to have plenty of loos! They all seem to have got problems at a similar time! He's just been with his bill, £135 not bad fir a whole afternoons work plus another trip yesterday for half an hour!

So late to be so light. Just like in the very south of NZ over the summer.

I might be wrong, but it seems lighter even later this year. Is it an age thing?! It's definitely lighter in the north... I remember driving around Scotland without headlights on and ringing home to the midlands to check - yes, they'd just got back and definitely needed headlamps. Pretty scene
