Suspiciously healthy

I had a quick blood test the other day, just tip-of-the-finger style, for blood sugar & cholesterol levels. And had my blood pressure checked, too. Blood sugar was 89 – one off ‘perfect’ of 90, but I think the Kit Kat immediately afterwards probably rectified that ;) – and the cholesterol was lower than they… Read more

A new moon

Well, I was looking forward to the lunar eclipse, but wasn’t surprised when the clouds got in the way. It was clear to see as the moon rose above the eastern mountains, though – which was the best time, probably, because it looked so big and clear.

I noticed, about a week ago, that there’s snow all along the eastern mountains of the valley. I can see them from my office at work… well… I did on the one day this week it wasn’t hazy and raining. It was pretty awesome – within ten minutes three people had also said “hey, snow!”.… Read more
