We’ve been through this one before. The shortest day isn’t the earliest sunset. @Tassotti is of course correct, the evenings have been stretching out now for a couple of weeks.
41 here now. Just been out to get the booze order done and to purchase a few bags of ice for the eskys we’re storing the booze on as there’s no room.in the fridge.
Cool change comi ng through later, hopefully. I’m looking forward to watching the sprinkler water the front lawn as I start drinking from the veranda, the odd neighbour coming over for a quick one and a feeling of general bonhomie, or drunkeness as we call it in Bunclody, coming over me.
It’s not that bad is it? Your mother in law foustering around after you?
My mother in law is so old I she doesn’t do any of the @smark like mother stuff any more, but god love her, she deserves a bit of appreciation.
You should all appreciate your mothers at this time of the year lads. It’s a sensitive time for those of us who have lost their mothers and indeed fathers.
