    Thank goodness. I would have felt pretty silly if I had spent my last moments installing a hot water heater.

    I can finish off the Kabocha (pumpkin) carrot, orange and coriander soup I made yesterday now too. I made enough for 2 days, just in case, but hey..that's being optimistic :)

    Joking aside the weather here to day is very strange --I mean it --it was lovely yesterday. To the North it is black --its not supposed to be like that at this time of year.

    If anyone needs to repent I am accepting donations from sinners. I offer my services to spend your money on debauchery and booze, in a way I know you would not ever be able to.

    I am of course extremely qualified being being an utter troll and womanizer and complete bastrd usually drunk and barfing on people and their belongings.

    You could not find better redemption.---- nofussredemption.com

    I read an article last week-some university,Cambridge?- by astrophysicists and similar professors and they calculated that the calendar is early by 5 days.
    .
    So your celebrations are a touch early,I'll try to find the article.

    This Kiwi is still here, well China is so I am although is minus 12C snowing and tomorrow getting colder but thats normal for December.

    Funny thing is everyone worries about our earth being hit by something big/unfriendly again knocking out all life as has happened previously.

    But if something big/unfriendly took out the moon wouldn't much the same result occur but on a slower scale.

    No tides = collapse of seasons - weather systems - food production etc plus the fine balance of gravitational orbit would be lost so earth's sun orbit would decay until its a very big barbecue night.

    In Spain, on my way to the coffee shop this morning, I noticed large cracks opening up in the sidewalk ? ??????

    Something might be going on.

    Not to take any chances I jumped on my bicycle , sped to the cash machine and withdrew an extra 50 euros.

    Just in case.................

    All is well in the US except I can't sleep.
    If the bloody Myans have something to do with this, I want an apology.

    Well, things outside look pretty ordinary here as well, but the danger is still out there. I am still awaiting a call from my tax accountant.
