Yesterday was the shortest day of the year. In the southern hemisphere, at least. It's also known as the winter solstice. How did we spend this day? Well, fruit and veg shopping had to be done, followed by a nice warm breakfast with crumpets, then off to the pool for heaps of laps (31 seconds for breaststroke, 28 seconds for backstroke, 25 seconds for butterfly and 16 seconds for freestyle [my best by 2 seconds]), then home for lunch. Followed this by computer games with The Boy before going to the park for football and chasey before heading off for a bike ride. After tea we started watching "Flags of our Fathers". Pretty full-on day really.
Funny, but it still felt as though it had 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.0996 seconds like any other true sidereal day.

Cool I learn something new everytime I visit your sight. Annette
No wonder I got home 12 seconds earlier last night after work!
