horsemouth is up. there is some light on the horizon. here it is cloudy. the beeb say sunrise at 8.17 UTC. it is a difficult angle where he is. he's just been down to the bottom of the drive to collect the recycling bin. there was some rainbowing in the clouds (nacerous clouds).
it looks like being a grey day with possibly some sun in the afternoon.
horsemouth hopes the skies are clear over newgrange - he's preparing for some morning of the solstice/ light in the tomb action. that should kick off at 8.40am.
the year moves towards its appointed end and towards its new beginnings.
welcome to the winter solstice. the shortest day of the year. well more the sun rising and setting at particular positions on the horizon.
to celebrate here's buck curran wandering round bergamo with robbie basho's old 12 string.
some will say the winter solstice will take place on friday, december 22 at 3.27am, some will focus on sunrise on the 21st or sunrise on the 22nd.
the buck curran tune was named after the solstice (but it was actually played on january the 13th winter solstice 1, a tribute to steffen basho-junghans. this means horsemouth can play it again on its first anniversary january 13th 2024).
not only he will try to be up early (on the 21st) to watch the sunrise at newgrange in ireland (er. but it may be cloudy), he will also try again on the 22nd (stonehenge).
peter bone, baroness mone, will this be the next one?
in a bit a boiled egg for breakfast - the golden yoke of the sun.
