I woke up last Saturday to the first snow fall of the season. It's the end of November, but I still thought "No, go away. I'm not ready for winter yet." I seriously considered rolling over and refusing to get out of bed until it all went away. Unfortunately/luckly, it was a competition day and I had no choice but to get up.

We saw something cool in the sky the other day. A long cloud was glowing all the colours of the rainbows in turn. It started bright orangy-red, then turned bright green, then indigo. Becca googled it. I forget what it was called, but it is apparently a very rare phenomenon. It happens when ice crystals in the cloud are lined up just right to ( Read more... ) -

The internet has been down for the last four days so forgive me if I have been absent. I've also been distracted by Katamari which Dev bought the other day. I'm impressively bad at it. papillon-denuit is impressively good at it. I especially love it when the people scream as you roll them up ( Read more... )
