mundia Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 For those of you celebrating the summer solstice tomorrow, whether you are off to Stonehenge or somehwre else, do enjoy. Sunrise at 4.58 am, go on, get up early for it. (its down hill from then...) Followed by the lowest full moon for a long time on Wednesday..let's hope for clear skies Quote
Beau Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 I'm afraid I will be tucked up in my bed. For those of you up and about I hope the weather is fine. Quote
Guest Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 No chance!!! I need all the beauty sleep I can get! Quote
Helen Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Hi Mundia, Our son Jamie is away on a residential school trip....I wonder if he'll be up at that time? Probably won't have gone to sleep by then......... Quote
bubblejack Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Please enlighten me Mundia and explain how to celebtate it. All I know is that it is the longest day. Quote
mundia Posted June 21, 2005 Author Posted June 21, 2005 Ah, bubble, you may hav caught a programme on Tv this evening all about stonehenge and the celebrtions that otok place there today. Singing and dancing feature quite highly! For me, its simpyl a case of enjoying the sunrise in my gardden lisetning to my noisy wrens and enjoying a peaceful medititation. and looking foward to the full moon hich will be specatacualr if the skies reamin clear..do make time to take a peek in the next day or two. Quote
bubblejack Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Thanks for that Mundia. Yes I did see that programme today. I just wondered how to celebrate it by myself without the singing and dancing!!We often sit in the garden and listen to the wildlife but unfortunately its very cloudy her at the moment but I will keep watching for that moon.

Inge Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Not able to rise early enough ? then catch the full moon as it rises tonite...it will appear to be much bigger than usual clear skies down here will mean a good view. Inge Quote
Guest Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Well I looked everywhere for the huge full moon last night but couldn't find it!!!! The sky was much lighter in one area but I couldn't actually see the moon. Did anyone else manage to see it? Quote
mundia Posted June 23, 2005 Author Posted June 23, 2005 ah Libby, it was there but only if you are a night owl like me. the moon didnt rise until after 11.30, and it was spectacular. Great for a little night time gardening.... Quote
Beau Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 It's been very cloudy here so no luck with the moon. At the moment I'm having trouble finding the sun too. Quote
Susan Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Saw the moon on Tuesday night and it was quite beautiful. Mundia, not sure how you manage to be up early and still awake late!? Beau, wish I had your problem Im afraid I dont like this heat! Quote
Guest Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Stayed up until about 12 o'clock but the moon wasn't high enough to see. Went to bed and woke up a little later and there it was in all its glory-my husband thinks I'm mad for standing at the window at about 1 in the morning staring at the moon! Perhaps I am!!! Linda Quote
mundia Posted June 23, 2005 Author Posted June 23, 2005 not mad Linda just part of a very elite club. (thast what I tell my other half when he wonders whY Im weeding at 3am! Susan, I sleep during the day!!! Quote
Sue R Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Mundia - What a very civilised way of life!!!! I'm in your club Sue Quote
Beau Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 my husband thinks I'm mad for standing at the window at about 1 in the morning staring at the moon! Perhaps I am!!! 34135[/snapback] You're okay provided you don't start howling. Quote
Guest Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 After the morning I had today howling at the moon would seem like normal!!! Linda Actually it was yesterday after looking at the clock!!! Quote
mundia Posted June 25, 2005 Author Posted June 25, 2005 what do you mean guys.... it IS normal!!!!! Quote
