A Grand Stretch in the Evening

With the Winter Solstice yesterday, technically the days are getting longer.  Winter is receding.

I know it is hard to believe with the sun setting over the airport as I type this at 16:03.

However it will only be a matter of days before one of my in-laws tells me that there’s a ‘grand stretch’.  It started innocently enough but seems to have become a sort of running joke as to who can be the first one to say it as soon as mid-winter has passed.

Maybe I’ll get there first this year!
