Got anything good?

Hey. This is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Christian O'Connell here. Good morning, Rio.

Hey, guys. Good morning, Patty.

Morning. Did you guys know this Saturday, winter solstice? Yes, and do you know why?

Because I'm going on a winter solstice trip away.

I am? Yes. It's come around so quick. So it's the winter solstice means shortest day, longest night of the year.

And then it means that the three days and nights leading up to it and the three days of nights afterwards, that seven-day period, least amount of daylight of the whole year.

Is that what it actually means?

That's why starting yesterday, you would have felt like it was already quite a shorter day.

And then same with today and Friday and then Saturday, obviously, the longest night,

but shortest day of the year.

That means, though, once you get out of this, we start the big turn,

suddenly more daylight starts creeping back in.

So we're past the worst of it daylight-wise.

That is exciting.

But I thought we were only just getting into the middle of winter, but now we're actually

started crested. We're going to come out the other side very soon.

It's because the long summer we've had.

Yeah.

It's actually sort of camouflaged winter.
