Easy dinner

I did a few simple jobs round the house while the boss went off to the store.
"It's a zoo" she said. Nowhere to park, the shops are choca-bloc and there were only 3 turkeys left in the size we wanted, so now we have a turkey.

So, the winter solstice.
How much daylight do we gain each day after December 21st?
Specifically to Chilliwack, on December 21, 2024, Chilliwack will have 8 hours and 12 minutes and 35 seconds of daylight: (And 35 seconds?)
After this, daylight increases to 9 hours, 15 minutes by New Year's Day. By mid-January, the increase jumps to about 2 minutes a day. 
By the 20th of February, daylight speeds up to 3 minutes per day! 
On the 20th, the day length is 10 hours, 53 minutes, and on the 21st, it's 10 hours, 56 minutes.

I can't get over the 35 second bit.


Ah well...
