More Weather
I just hung out my washing. I wore my hat, as I usually do when I hang out washing. It was pretty bright outside, so I went back in for my sunnies. Two minutes later I was going to fetch my thongs, as the paving was too hot for my feet… I thought this was […]

Christmas Tree!
Now that it’s December, it’s time to put up the tree…
I’ve just bought the tree. It’s nice and traditional - no pink or silver for me! It also has lights built in, which is convenient - it’s always so hard to get the lights evenly spread on the tree. I like the way they’re bright […]
OMG, Weekend!
On friday I handed in my last assessment of the semester. This semester has been a particularly crazy one - the first half packed full of outreach stuff, and the second half packed full of catching-up.
