How did you spend yours?

'Solstice’ literally means stopping or standing still of the sun. It is used as a name for the longest day of the year – 21 June – when the sun is at its highest point in the northern hemisphere.

The sun reaches its highest position in the sky twice a year as seen from the north or south pole. This is when either hemisphere is tipped towards the sun more than on any other day of the year.'

Wishing you happy midsummer nights dreams :)

Went to the Estonian club listening to a band playing exceptional music by a big fire in a beautiful scenic garden. Not too bad :pipe:
