According to a catchy song by Ghost called The World is Outside, the worst day of the year is the last Monday in January - which is today! I think that has to be wrong though. The nights are getting longer and we're heading towards spring. For the first morning this year, it even started to get light as I was driving to work.
For me, the worst day of the year is 2nd January. To combat this, I legally downloaded extra music on that day.
I wonder what the best day of the year is? The first Friday in July? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/BobGreece/?chartstyle=basicrt10">

Today is not a great day for me. I 'celebrate' 39 years on this miserable planet.
Best day for me; any day when the sun is shining and it's warm. Any day when I dont look out of the window into what looks like a nuclear bloody winter. Maybe I have SAD.. Actually it might just be a hangover...

I have to be honest, the worst day of the year for me is Xmas day...I always struggle to get through it. I remember going birdwatching one year, and even the bloody reserve was closed... the sign said 'open every day except Xmas day' but I didn't see any of the waders pulling crackers...
the best days vary for me, but are generally in the summer and tend to invlove a good walk with some sandwiches, and a flask, which can take in a small nature reserve and an interesting castle along the same route... alternatively a great day in a large art gallery, when you come out at 5pm and your eyes are swimming!
anyway Bob...it's great to see you back in the forums...  ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

Cheers Bob. Life on Mars would be ok, so long as you had a special space suit, some good books to read and an MP3 player. I'd give it a go for a year. |

Hmm, no wonder I'm feeling fed-uo today. It's got so bad, I've got Morrissey's Heaven knows I'm miserable now lyric stuck in my brain. Lovely. I just wish I could pin down why I am feeling like this, because lots of great things are happening in my life at the moment. Odd. Happy birthday Blacksword! -------------

Friede and I live by a different calendar which we created ourselves. it has 13 months of 28 days each. since 13*28 equals 364 only, we have an additional New Y>ear's day at the beginning of our year, which is not assigned to any month or week, and in leap years a leap day, which immediately follows after New Year's day and also belongs to no week or month. this has a lot of advantages: no matter what year it is, a certain date will ALWAYS fall on the same week day. what's more: the first of all months falls on the same weekday. the calendar also has a more logical start; it begins with the spring equinox (which in this year falls on March 20th, according to the Gregorian calendar). I always felt a year should resemble a life with winter being old age; thus it never made sense to me that winter drags along throughout the first months of the new year. our months have all been named after Greek Goddesses. for the weekdays we used the name of the 7 Pleiades. anyone who would like to know more about our calendar (for example conversion tables) is welcome to send either Friede or me a private message. the calendar is part of our religion (Friede and I are High Priestesses of a small religious group that worships Gaia, the ancient Greek Goddess of the Earth). consequently we celebrate other feasts than Easter or Xmas; however, the kids don't have to go without "Xmas presents", in a way, because we celebrate the solstices and equinoxes, and the winter solstice is very close to Xmas. as to worst day of the year: I would name 4. the days after our big feasts (the solstice and equinoxes) are usually filled with headaches and nausea for us. not because of too much booze, by the way -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Happy birthday Blacksword!!!  Do you mean you actually have a proper winter where you live?! I'm so jealous, I sure could use one here in Slushland. Clean, crisp snow is a beautiful thing, whether in light or in the dark. |

The winter keeps coming later and later here. It's soon February, and the only snow we've had only lasted 2 days!
Instead we get the "autumn storms" that are delayed to January, and rain instead of snow. Damn Global Warming
 The winter (with snow) last year lasted the whole month of february, plus a week or so in January. So there is still a chance i might get to see some snow! YAY!

Thankyou.
No, we dont get a propper winter at all. The skies are generally overcast and there's frequent rain. We've not had a real winter in the south since the 1980's. I miss snow..

Just a common day here. The most horrible day on this Earth for me, so far, is on the 21th of August. Involves a past event. When's the happiest, I couldn't tell. A day when everything works and everything's happy isn't far from a little miracle, but I'm not having hard times either, so I lately never complain.... -------------

back in the spring of 2001, when I was working half way up Snowdon, we had beautiful crisp snow on the mountains, and azure blue, cloudless skies for several weeks... it was the best winter walking weather many of us had seen, for that length of time...
the only  problem was that foot and mouth kept everyone off the hills for 3 months, and all the local businesses nearly went bankrupt as a result...------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

Only two years ago my country saw temperatures drop as low as -30 Celsius... sickest winter I can remember. And it lingered for two whole months! There is an upside to the current situation though - earlier poor people used to freeze to death by the dozens here, that harsh winter alone claimed some 200 people. This is less common nowadays. |

I have to say my worst day of last year was 12/28. I had a grand mal seizure and I'm still feeling out of whack. Then there was that giardia attack back in June, but that was more like several bad days...

| I don't think the last Monday in January is the worst day at all. You're right- the days are getting alot longer! Plus its 43 degrees Farenheit up here in the upper midwest which makes it feel all warm and balmy- Especially since last Monday it was -5. |

While this is true of me as well, I've had a very good day so far, and this Clearlight is doing nothing to stop that.

Worst time for me is usually around November. Or maybe March for me aswell.
Best? I don't know. Any day when everything is good, and there's NO bad things in sight!

Definitely last winter. My last winter was what i suppose this winter is for Stonas. I dreaded this winter, but it's been okay. Hang in there, Stonas. -------------
