But I'm not a day out. I did indeed celebrate the Solstice on Sunday 21 June, but only posted the story on the morning of Monday 22. I didn't want to disturb the flow by worrying about technology. @Bob Bain: I may be a minute out, as the site I originally checked does seem to round to the nearest 5 minutes. But I’m not a day out.

Checking with About Australia (Winter Solstice at the Sydney Observatory) http://www.about-australia.com/events/new-south-wales/sydney/events/exhibition-show/winter-solstice-at-the-sydney-observatory/ "Winter Solstice at the Sydney Observatory Celebrate the International Year of Astronomy at the Sydney Observatory. On 21 June at 3.46pm the Sun is at its most northerly position for the year. This is the day of the winter solstice, about which mythology has developed " 3:46 pm on 21st June 2009 rather than 3:45 pm on 22nd June 2009 methinks ??? Regarding the time and the date….

Having sampled a few astronomical and astrological sites it would appear this was one minute early. Here's one such site:- EarthSky - A Clear Voice for Science http://www.earthsky.org/article/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-solstice "This solstice takes place on Sunday, June 21, 2009 at 5:46 Universal Time. To find the time of the solstice in your location, you have to translate to your time zone" Precisely 3:45 pm ?

You inspired me to also take a candle-length time for reflection this year. I loved this solstice meditation as much as I loved last years.

Though the other day we were on Marrickville road at the cafe there and an Antinov thingy took off and made the 747 sound quiet. I wonder where it was going, what it had brought?
