We’re about as far north as Seattle (for those of you in the New World). That means that yesterday the sun rose at about 05h01 and set at 22h04. I love the long evenings and the early morning light. It’s much easier to get up and get going, though in the evening you’re still looking for stuff to do at 21h30. Hey, if it’s still light, there must be more chores to finish.
Cornelius Ryan claimed that June 6, 1944 was the Longest Day.
When you get on the plane in Paris and fly to Los Angeles, now that day is long. You leave at 10h15 and arrive at 13h00 in the afternoon, the same day… Making for a 33 hour day.
I’ve had some sleepless nights that made (oddly) for long days, or stretches in hospital waiting rooms where hours dragged on.
I’m sure you have too.
