Weathery weather

Apparently the temperature drop wasn't sudden enough for it to count as a 'weather-bomb', but yesterday icy winds from the Antarctic met hot air from Fiji and caused high winds and storms which did a lot of damage. We lost power for several hours last night--right in the middle of watching a Farscape episode--and after sweltering last week, I'm now shivering in temperatures more like May than February. That's a big drop, and the cats are looking puzzled and demanding cuddles.

I got a call today from the agency and have a 3-4 day contract with a company who just transferred to a new computer system which I have to check. It sounds dead boring, but it's a few hundred dollars more, and I need it, though I'd have liked a few days free to catch up with everything I've not had time for lately.

At least I finally made my DIY Blake's 7 calendar, with pictures from Minnie's B7 art pages printed on some canvas-look photo paper.

OK, the really important question is: did you get to watch the end of the Farscape? :)

Which one are you up to now, anyway? "The Choice?"

Not yet! The power didn't come back till the early morning. I've seen 'Choices' :-( (must e-mail you about it) - this was 'Fractures' and very interesting. Crais and Jool putting that creature together were a hoot.

Must watch the rest tonight.

Could do with some cooler weather right now...

Actually, it's not unpleasant now I'm dressed for it and the sun's out after the storm--I love sun. It'll stay cool for a few days apparently.
