“Are you called Jane?"
"Yes."
"I'm Ness. We met almost 30 years ago when Paul was living with us in Balham. He was the most chilled housemate!"
"Omg, Ness!"
"Yes! What a small world. Do you remember the day I found him sitting on the sofa in his blue running shorts, smoking one of his roll-ups. I asked him what he'd been up to, and he said he'd just run the London Marathon? He didn't look like he had. I knew he'd been running, but he never told us he was training for it!"
"Oh yes, I remember that. He didn't tell his mum either, infact nobody seemed to know except me. I met him at the end of the race, and he was cool as a cucumber, smoking a fag. He'd recently come out of the army and was super fit."
"You were so organised. I remember you tidied our fridge and put Post-it notes on things."
"Oh."
"How is he, is still working at ITV News?"
"Yes. He's at the Euros with his mate Greg. Before he left, he put up a new shed and seems to be looking forward to moving into it."
"Wow, this is so very random seeing you here..."
tbc.

“Summer Solstice & Full 🍓Strawberry Moon 🌝 in the Year of The Dragon 🐉 2024
So this year's full moon coincides with the summer solstice on the evening of June 21 just after Sunset, southeast, and gently above the horizon. It will appear there large and golden-hued.
Reaching a peak illumination at 9:08 pm
It’s a solstice moon and unusual.
It lands so soon after Summer Solstice 🙌
It is opposite to the Sun in all respects, a little-known lunar reality. The full moon rises just as the Sun is setting and it sets when the Sun rises at midnight: when the Sun is lowest down the full moon is highest up.
So this month’s full moon on the 21st will be the lowest full moon indeed, the lowest seen in years, so it will have the appearance of being bigger than ever and is known as, and named as:
‘moon illusion‘
It ascended so little that the thick horizon air would paint it yellow or orange and subdue its light.
Its extreme southerly position kept it aloft for a few short hours, leaving that night mostly black.
An extra low extra big, orange-like -a-sun full moon for a few precious hours🙌
JUNE is a time of great abundance for many.
Just before the Full moon 🌕Friday 21st, we herald in the longest day and shortest night.
The Farmers Almanac for the Northern Hemisphere Summer solstice falls in June.
For the Southern Hemisphere, December.
Scientifically it’s all about the amount of sunlight in the day, depending on the tilt of the Earth’s axis towards the Sun.
Celebrated differently all around the World with varied festivals and traditions🌎🌍🌏
Feasts, bonfires, picnics, and traditional songs and music, are a few ways this change of season is observed. In ts fullness, be abundant, and may Wunjo, the Joy of Summer, be embraced.
