  1. Seven hours forty nine minutes of daylight today but it gets lighter by two minutes seven seconds a day from now on.

    Summer is almost here !

  10. I'm now following No. 10's lead and doing what I want now, I'm triple vaxxed so I've done my bit while BoJo and Co have laughed at us all for nearly 2 years.

  11. Triple jabbed too, but it's the international restrictions that are concerning me. As with the previous variants I don't think there's any real way of containing omicron. So why are we banned from France and now Germany? Just gesture politics so their leaders can say they are doing something?
     
  12. If I am not living in Portugal this time next year I will have failed.....

  14. If they haven’t worked out that the idea of trying to contain a virus by now is pissing in the wind then they truly are as thick as we all think our ‘leaders’ are :joy:

  15. Yay, time to start bike shopping :grinning:
     
  16. There are only two equinox’s in a year and two solstices. The equinoxes are in spring and autumn…
    equal days and equal nights. Equal= equinox!

    We have just passed the winter solstice which is the longest night of the year.

    It’s true to say from here on until June the daylight hours will be getting longer. Thank goodness for that.
