AnnieB - Good question. I don’t think The Mayans knew about Greenwich Mean Time. LOL!
Paulx - At least you will have a good excuse to tell your wife. “I am so sorry. luv. According to the Mayans we’re doomed today and I thought what’s the point.” Erm come the afternoon. though, I would take her for a meal to say sorry. LOL!
Marty,thanks for reminding me of !! !!.I’m not going to bother doing the washing up,paying the milk man or cutting my fingernails.I wonder if we will be atomized on the planet, or blown into space intact.If it doesn’t happen, we can look forwards to an extra two minutes daylight every day,until June 21st…Now where’s that T shirt?
It is the LONGEST day over here in Australia… and at 11.11am (or 10.11am allowing for daylight savings) nothing happened so given that was almost 12 hours ago I think we are safe until the next apocaclyptic scare mongering theory pops up
My understanding of the Mayan calendar is that the Central Americans got invaded by the Spanish Conquistadors before they had a chance to start writing the next instalment of their calendar. Nothing sinister at all beyond being conquered by an invading country and annihilated. So pretty apocalyptic for the actual Mayans and surrounding civilisations that also used their calendar at the time… but had they not been conquered their measurements of time would have kept on ticking on.
Shortest day - hurray. A robin singing in my back garden this morning. Bring on Spring! Nothing catastrophic happened here either, by the way. Shall have to pay the leccy bill after all.
