How are you spending yours?

I have to work until six then divilment of some sort*.






*I'll probably sit on my own in the backgarden eating vegetarian sausages.

sitting indoors, avoiding pollen. My summer doesn't start till around July the 5th.

Maybe I'll play an RPG on the computer as a Druid in tribute

 

[nooleen]

fuck all i'd say...might go to the park by the university where the sunset always looks nice, but probably not. at the very least i'll smoke a ceremonial fag in the back garden, where the sunset is also nice.

may pop up to tara and check out the solitary witches.
or, skyclad bonfire in Fore.

Suppose I should see if Ann Post wants to take a spin out to Grianan an Aileach.

 

[GO]

I think i'll be avoiding alcohol......

Seriously, this much light is just wrong. I was walking home last night around half ten or so and I swear I thought it was like 5pm. Birds chirp at like 2am. I'm instantly awake at 6:30am even with an eye mask on. How does anyone sleep? My body clock is so confused.

carrowkeel is the place for the summer solstice http://www.newgrange.com/carrowkeel-solstice-08.htm
the only thing that happens at newgrange is the sun sets perfectly behind the main monument when viewed from the top of one of the smaller burial mounds.

 

[shower another shower]

serious? fuck. shouldn't been smoking dope on all them trips up to newgrange.
Fun Fact: On the Knowth tour, they say 'Large Mound' about a half a dozen times.

I stand corrected.

Jesus. Seriously, I have my window open and if I had to guess I would say it was about 3pm. It freaks me out every year. You'd think I'd be use to it by now but I'm not. I'd go insane in the shetlands.

Here, wait for me to come up and bring me too. Looks great! PS When should I come to LK?

i love the long days too, especially the long evenings, not so sure about the mornings though. if theres one thing i hate its going to be after the sun has come up and that can very easily happen these days. actually, im in bed by 1am at the latest every night. i dont think it gets completely dark, theres always a pale streak.
