IDK, I'll go with 12 noon (on the 21st.)
With the sun at its highest point in the northern hemisphere, all things affected by gravity will be slightly taller, and a persons perception of the horizon will be slightly stretched, compared to the day before.

FYI: e-mailed howard but got back the same "Personal incident" e-mail with the exact same wording. Discouraging so soon to when an IRL meet is supposed to be taking place :/

I got a letter from Howard after emailing him. The first one I got was kinda weird and somewhat rude, but it didn't look suspicious.

The SECOND Letter, however, seemed vaguely like an apology. But it DOES look suspicious. Can someone decode it for me:

Could you submit the first letter as well? There could be some kind of message after all.

Well, Howard seemed to miss a little coded message of my own in the e-mail I sent him earlier today (which on the face of it appeared to be about his computer trouble, hence the beginning of his response).

But anyway, something more encouraging here re: tuesday. Like I said though, he appeared to not meet one-on-one (which is fair enough, I'm rather wary of meeting up with people you know from the internet as a general rule), so any one else playing this ARG in London?

It's simple: Munsell is a colour system and 10GY is the 'lighter green' in this system, like this: http://www.perbang.dk/rgb/44C83F/. So, this whole affair just got some more green into it...

Weird.... what does it mean?

FYI, the subject of the email containing the poem was "Tīw's Locus".

Locus = Latin for location/place

Tiw's probably refers to Tiw's Day, which is where Tuesday comes from.

In other words, the poem contains Tuesday's location, i.e. where to meet on Tuesday.

According to the convo that draghkar had, the time of the meeting is sunset. This website says that sunset in London on Tuesday will be at 9:21PM.

Just jumping in here.

The poem seems to be a further clue to the location mentioned before.
Earlier in the thread booba linked to St. Mary the Virgin's Church where Dee is supposedly buried in the churchyard. This is Dee's churchyard?
She who bore "he crowned in thorn" would be Mary, the mother of Jesus, made to wear a crown of thorns.
Since this is a church, I took the women signing their names off in threes as a reference to the three biblical Marys (Maries). However, I'm not sure this can apply to the 3 following sentences, as Mary the mother of Jesus is not considered one of those three.

Don't know if it narrows things down, as almost any church has some type of arch.

This might help:
