23 degrees 27 minutes of seperation...

Is this just a cold snap we're experiencing, or is the Earth tilting a little closer to 23 degrees 27 minutes? In under a month the UK once again plunges into premature darkness with the end of British Summer Daylight Saving Time. Coincidently, the same phenomenon signals the start of the beach season in Sydney and my return to Australia.

So when I am sunning myself on the white sands of Curl Curl, I'll spare a thought for my friends in England - standing (at a 23 degree angle, some 27 minutes from seasonally adjusted declination of the sun's trajectory) white knuckled in some wet beer garden complaining about the cold - just stand a little closer to the outdoor heaters and pretend your on the Tropic of Cancer.
