That is a very good point Simon, and I think needs clarification in
the "rules". Are the specified times "local" times in which case the
dates should have allowed for the capture of the Solstice and
extended past it by at least 24 hrs to be safe for ALL time zones, or
are they tied to UTC or Berkley ;-) time? In which case we (in Oz)
still have our "tomorrow" ... until midnight on the 21st in London /
Berkley whichever is the "official" time keeper ...
