An astronomical observation

Today marks the Earth's perihelion. This is when the elliptical orbit of the Earth takes us closest to the Sun, a mere 147,100,000km. The aphelion is 152,100,000km, a difference of 5,000,000km. So why is it so cold today?

Just came accross your blog whilst wandering through the blogs of people who like PG Wodehouse. I roared laughing at what you said about "Dr." Gillian McKeith (especially as I am following her diet atm - gullible woman that I am) I'll be back to catch up on your musings. All the best :) - ElizaF
