The seasons drawn by Nick Lomb. On Saturday 22 December 2007 at 5:08 pm Australian eastern summer time the Earth is at summer solstice. This is when the Sun appears at its most southerly position for the year and, for those of us in the southern hemisphere, it is the longest day of the year.

For the Assemblage 23 album, see Addendum (album). An addendum, in general, is an addition required to be made to a document by its author subsequent to its printing or publication. It comes from the Latin verbal phrase addendum est, being the gerundive form of the verb addo, addere, addidi, additum, to give to, add to, meaning (that which) must be added. Addenda is from the plural form addenda sunt, (those things) which must be added. (See also memorandum, agenda, corrigenda.)
