Boiled the billy for afternoon tea, then rearranged the woodpile so the driest wood is next to the stove, resorted the kindling box and put it under cover.
Rain coming in tomorrow.

^ Around 16, not bad, but feels colder.
Had a pea-soup fog this morning, supposed to be colder weather coming in after the rain.
All my kindling is native wood and the rough bark tends to hold water, so I wanted to make sure I have something to burn if it does come in cold.

Well, last night was 11c inside the house... We dont really get snow where we are but our mountain sometimes gets a snow peek for a few hours that looks nice every few years. I once took a date down to the beach at midnight, made a fire and cooked a dinner only to realise i chose the night that was the coldest ever recorded! 8O ( go figure! Was 2c, -8c wind chill... Seemed a good idea at the time)
It doesn't sound bad but when you take into account many of our houses are not sufficiently insulated like in Europe, one is effectively sleeping in an expensive tent!
Actually had a flatmate give notice yesterday as he felt it was too cold for him and winter has not yet set in, so can be a bit of a pain but i am somewhat used to it.

Why am I a zombie, exactly? It's only been five days!

So, on the road to my aunt and uncle's farm, we had some mishaps and stopped longer than usual. It was past suppertime once we got there. I was very happy to be there, and, despite being exhausted, reclaimed a sense of peace that seems to go hand and hand with that area. The next day we looked at four houses; the first one had air scent 'purifier' and smelled of dog, so although it was nice enough I was antsy and quickly left. The next one had the same smell, and the one after that belonged to people who smoked heavily. I didn't even get through the door of that one, but the fourth one was also quite nice. I wrote lots and lots; I always seem highly inspired up there in the nature and good smells [well, except for horse poop]. The next day we looked at three other houses, but the first and fourth one from the day before remained my two picks so far. In all, I enjoyed myself a lot. I also played one of my favourite video games and read lots of books during the rainy days. The next day we looked at those two houses again, but we are still debating about what to do. Coming home today, however...we stopped at this neat shop full of crystals and weird stuff and awesome stuff and too much to describe. I got two pairs of pant-skirts and a piece of Lemurian crystal. We also stopped at a crystal shop later on, and I got an angel aura crystal, a crystal partially cut open to show the sparklies, and a polished rose quartz fashioned so I can wear it as a necklace.

I recently acquired a piece of brilliant aqua-colored titanium quartz for my birthday (which isn't until next month, but my husband who gave it to me might not live that long). He's got all of the bases covered. They started with a mild chemo regimen last night. No side effects so far. If this works, he can avoid the more toxic stuff. We should know in a couple of weeks.

I truly believe that people who don't believe in global warming are idiots!

So, are there any idiots here?
