Atishoo! zzzZZZZ...


How is it that animals (especially the young 'uns) make my heart melt and laugh my socks off?
These videos are some of my favourites. Do you have any others you love?

Norway's Northern Lights

So, as much as I loved my sister's photographs of the Northern Lights in Sweden, perhaps these ones are a teensie bit more WOW! Imagine creating this sort of light effect on a bedroom ceiling, or across open fields.
It's exactly as I imagined them when I read Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. Spellbinding.

Bjørn Jørgensen's sky near Tromsø 



 Bjørn Jørgensen captured the top image in the sky over Grøtfjord, North Norway.

This is what Discovery News said about the amazing skies we've been getting this year...


Jan. 23, 2012 -- Over the weekend, the Earth's magnetic field was struck by a coronal mass ejection (CME). The resulting geomagnetic storm caused a spectacular light show at higher latitudes. As the solar plasma of the CME hit our magnetosphere, the powerful global magnetic field funneled energetic particles down toward the Polar Regions. As the particles (mainly protons) impacted our atmosphere, light erupted from the collisions.

Oops

Yup, this is how I signed off an email to my bank today. Sh*t.

Best Foot Forward

My foot that tax isn't taxing! Utter rubbish. It's a lie of a strap line.
My head nearly exploded trying to do my sums. Well I did it, and on time which is a miracle really. 

In true female economics, the moment I (gulp) paid my tax bill I reasoned I deserved a present. You know, like on birthdays, Christmas and random Tuesday afternoons. Emerald Street sent me a blast, I clicked the link, I saw, I liked, and I bought. All in under 60 seconds.

It sounds slightly reckless but these lovelies are from Asos, the wonderful website where posting is free. However they're a size 8. An Asos size 8, so probably not big enough. Rather lamely I know I'll have to send them home. I think I'm getting shopping withdrawals living in the sticks. I did remember to check with fashion guru Coco Chardonnay. She listed off the trends they hit and sent her seal of approval, phew!

It's Fashion, Darling

I know these have been doing the rounds but they're painfully funny.
Just in time for London Fashion Week too.

Afternoon Jaunt

I went flying along the Welsh coast this afternoon and I properly flew the plane - throttle and all.
It was frickin' terrifying!
