HAPPY MIDSUMMER, or June 25th then.

Unread post by squishmusic »

Its midsummer here today in Sweden. Im having a quiet non-alcohol, but very much sill-loaded day at home alone.
Might switch on the very neglected Nova IIX for a tinkle
Happy Summer yall


oh: Sill is smelly herring, or just marinated herring in a jar. The mustard one is my fave. Sticky sweet and uhm mustardy.
Serve with boiled potatoes and boiled eggs and chives. Mmmmmm

Yep, it is indeed midsummer but you would never know it from our weather in the UK so far. In a way, it is a sad time because it means the hours of daylight will now be getting shorter and of course, we have the daft moving forward of the clocks to look forward to in October :angry-tappingfoot:

Does it vary by Latitude? I have never thought about before, but Midsummer for UK was 21st June.

Happy midsummer anyway :)

Midsummer day, as opposed to the astronomical Summer Solstice, is normally celebrated on the 24th but can also be the 25th, 26th, 27th or 28th. It is more of a "festival" time than a single day.

Yeah the actual midsommar day (in sweden) was today, or Saturday, so yesterday.
Midsommars eve was on Friday and thats the day the swedes indulge in sill, vodka, do that ikea-commercial-dance-thing and yeah generally shake-off spring, spring into summer mode and get all tipsy. It was quiet today walking in the city. Just a few dumped bikes, vomit patches and some people walking wobbly with shades hangin off their bakfull (thats hungover) faces! :D
I had my first ice-cream of the year.

I know. Totally fascinating non-music blabber right :D

It's still interesting though. Always insightful to hear about how others live. (Y)
