the sun

spent perhaps too many hours reading interesting stuff on the web yesterday, after taking grace & josiah out to the cafe, grace having been really good with me on my own proceeded to be a complete nightmare in public, a tricky shift from having her mum to not having her mum and then back again... much as i understand it i have to say that really pushed past my threshold with the amount of sleep i got, and once home i found myself surfing obscure facts and myths online for longer than i meant to...

but information is always good, when it's going in, and this stuff was going in...

deoxy as ever providing some mind-opening stuff, this time on sabbats, the 8 dates in the year when pagan festivals take place... (actually i bet pagan festivals happen on way more than eight days a year...), the next (less important one) being the vernal equinox, when the hours of daylight and of night are equal... small moment of curiousity about whether the author i was reading, one mike nichols, was the director of the same name, (fairly sure he's not)...

one of his points was that these dates are as old as this planet, being based on astrological events...

then a little later found myself gazing at the sun, courtesy of NASA and ESA (the european space agency), i love these images of ultra-violet light coloured so that we can see them....

hmmmm...

audition tomorrow for a scottish singer... send me love at around 18:30 GMT...
