Happy new week and happy solstice!
Last week's Chat Thread is here.
For most of us, today is the Winter Solstice. Welcome back to the Sun! With the return of the light, I'd like to wish all of my dear friends on this thread a happy holiday season and a new year blessed with joy, abundance, good health, serenity, and love!
The solstice occurs on 21 December at:
2303 GMT11:03 p.m. in the U.K.6:03 p.m. in the eastern U.S.3:03 p.m. in CaliforniaAnd for AQ: Happy Summer Solstice on 22 December at 9:33 a.m.This solstice is special because it happens within 2 and a half hours of the New Moon. I'm seeing this cosmic event as a fresh start and a new beginning. Woo hoo!The photo is of the Sun in the midst of a powerful and spreading coronal mass ejection.

Diane that is hilarious, Bille has never done that so far, always uses her litter tray. What she does do is present us with fur balls so next I clear one up I will rememer your song.
ANNETTE - are you dog-sitting while daughter is away with the young ones?
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
DIANE - love your song for ANNETTE!
Terrible news from Glasgow this afternoon.
OG it is indeed tragic news from Glasgow.
DIANE- Marvellous!! I found myself singing it lol
Yes awful news from Glasgow and of course we feel it as it is just down the road from us. I am still thinking about all the children shot in Pakistan plus dreadful happenings in Australia.And the police shot in US. What a world.
Seems especially bad for Glasgow so soon after the Clutha pub event, and the day after the Lockerbie 26th anniversary, but of course these things are happening all around the world and all the time.
