I'd like it constructed with dual full width south and North facing balconies with bi-folding doors overlooking the Tiber from southern end of the Palentine Hill and North to the Vatican. Next door to the remains of Julia's Caesar's domicilary will do nicely.
I'd like it furnished in the style of Ancient Rome with flowing silks on the walls and model of the Forum in all its glory in the eastern end - this should be under a glass ceiling dome which mimics St Peters Basilika. At the other end I'd like a full sized snooker table a 15 meter swimming pool and several chess boards with the pieces cut to resemble famous battles.
There should be a small but fully equipped and stocked kitchette with chef and private butler and maid service. I'd like several cases of Bollinger deposited in the store and sufficient food to last me a few weeks.
I'll get back to you with the furniture details after you've arranged the moving in party. Please invite a few of the RHP ladies up, Oh and would you kindly arrange for security at the lift and fire exists to keep the plebs out.
Good man.

The post that was quoted here has been removedI've lived a good portion of my life in the southern hemisphere. Down here, in those places where there is a Summer, it begins on a different day of the year, of course. Do you think the OP should have acknowledged this?

Correction: "4)". Thanks, Stees.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyFrom an astronomical view, the equinoxes and solstices would be the middle of the respective seasons,but a variable seasonal lag means that the meteorological start of the season, which is based on average temperature patterns, occurs several weeks later than the start of the astronomical season. According to meteorologists, summer extends for the whole months of June, July, and August in the northern hemisphere and the whole months of December, January, and February in the southern hemisphere. Under meteorological definitions, all seasons are arbitrarily set to start at the beginning of a calendar month and end at the end of a month. This meteorological definition of summer also aligns with the commonly viewed notion of summer as the season with the longest (and warmest) days of the year, in which daylight predominates. The meteorological reckoning of seasons is used in Austria, Denmark, the former Soviet Union and Japan. It is also used by many in the United Kingdom. In Ireland, the summer months according to the national meteorological service, Met Éireann, are June, July and August. However, according to the Irish Calendar summer begins on 1 May and ends on 1 August. School textbooks in Ireland follow the cultural norm of summer commencing on 1 May rather than the meteorological definition of 1 June.
We'll open the First Day of Summer June 21, 2015.
Days continue to lengthen from equinox to solstice and summer days progressively shorten after the solstice, so meteorological summer encompasses the build-up to the longest day and a diminishing thereafter, with summer having many more hours of daylight than spring. Reckoning by hours of daylight alone, summer solstice marks the midpoint, not the beginning, of the seasons. Midsummer takes place over the shortest night of the year, which is the summer solstice, or on a nearby date that varies with tradition.
Where a seasonal lag of half a season or more is common, reckoning based on astronomical markers is shifted half a season. By this method, in North America, summer is the period from the summer solstice (usually 20 or 21 June in the Northern Hemisphere) to the autumn equinox.
Reckoning by cultural festivals, the summer season in the United States is commonly regarded as beginning on Memorial Day weekend (the last weekend in May) and ending on Labor Day weekend (the first weekend in September), more closely in line with the meteorological definition for the parts of the country that have four-season weather. The similar Canadian tradition starts summer on Victoria Day one week prior (although summer conditions vary widely across Canada's expansive territory) and ends, as in the United States, on Labor Day.
In Chinese astronomy, summer starts on or around 5 May, with the jiéqì (solar term) known as lìxià (立夏), i.e. "establishment of summer", and it ends on or around 6 August.
In southern and southeast Asia, where the monsoon occurs, summer is more generally defined as lasting from March, April, May and June, the warmest time of the year, ending with the onset of the monsoon rains.
Because the temperature lag is shorter in the oceanic temperate southern hemisphere, most countries in this region use the meteorological definition with summer starting on 1 December and ending on the last day of February.
In Australia and New Zealand, Summer officially begins on 1 December and ends on 28 and 29 February.
