Shortest Day
Posted: Mon 21 December, 2009 Filed under: Domestic 2 Comments »So hello, Winter Solstice. Yes, it’s the shortest day of the year.
In London, that means that today the sun rises at 8.04 and sets at 15.53, a total day of 7hrs 49m 41 seconds.
Tomorrow, it rises at 8.04 and sets at 15.54 , and the pattern is set.
By the 27th, the total day will be 7hrs 51m 29 seconds.

Happy, happy day.
More importantly, in Norwich the sun rises today at 8:04 (just like London) but sets at 15:42 (11 minutes earlier).
Which makes today an even shorter day.
An happy day indeed. Now if we could just have a warm snap – just 10 degrees C or so until this bloody snow’s gone – I’d be ever happier.
