Sunny and cooler today; a wee chance of much needed rain by late Sunday evening: please send rain vibes!! It is so parched! Did my usual library run and got some vermouth, running low on it; am about to feed the girls and have lunch. Nothing scheduled but papers, crossword and water the garden!! Enjoy the rest of the day, all!

DM - I'll swap you a barrel of water for a barrel of sunshine any day. We have one of those constant, cloying, thick thick drizzle days, where you wonder if you will ever see the sun again.

You have far too much rain and we are desperate for some! Life is not fair....and it is so depressing that the days are growing shorter now! I don't know what latitude you're in, but the sun set here last night at 7:59 pm!!! No more sitting on the porch after dinner ... and since I'm whingeing, my tomatoes seem to have the blight!!

That's an early sunset!
We'll be getting dark about 8.30 tonight, the weather being so bad, but on a good day there would be light until nearly 9.

Wow, you're not in the Land of the Midnight Sun, but you've got a lot more evening light than we do! Enjoy, it's all downhill now until the winter Solstice..

That looks about right Edit. No it doesn't the table has gone silly and the numbers have jumped on top of each other. I think you can use common sense to work it out though

Wow, I did not realize how much later the sun sets in your latitude! I dug out my almanac and here are a few comparable times for sunset here:
April 1 6:32
May 1 8:00
June 1 8:27
July 1 8:37
Aug 1 8:18
Sep 1 7:37

Too dark too soon! Thanks for the table, that was informative!
