Short Solstice

Today is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year and one I have most ambivalent feelings about. To put it shortly, I don't like long days and the sun going down late in the evening. This year, the long summer days have been bearable, mainly because they have been relatively cool overall and because they have often been cloudy. Read this post for more details. In any case, it means that, to a degree, daylights have been relatively dim, as if we have a shorter solstice, so to speak. Which I cannot complain about.
