I don't know, i'll phone my friend in South Africa and ask him.

There's no such thing as the 'shortest day.' They all have 23hours 56minutes and 53 seconds (or thereabouts) in them!

The Earth's orbit around the Sun isn't circular and because of this solar days vary in length.

Today seems a bit longer today.

Today is the longest day for me.

Those nights are going to start drawing in from now on

That explains something... I thought the smell must have been Wilmslow's shoes.
