One Of Our Cats Is Not Like The Other

We put our Christmas tree up earlier this week. Here’s a shot:

Ok ok! You got me! I’ll just come out and admit it – yes, the tree is fake.

But hey! It’s the 21st century and this is the golden age of artificial trees! Real trees are so 1984! Fake as it is, the tree looks beautiful

To prove that, here are two more shots showing the detail of the realistic branches and how nicely the lights are entwined into the tree:

Bernard: Any chance of updating the wordpress version so I can embed Youtube? I’m thinking of video-blogging the Australia trip…

Started Up

We turned the heat on today. And then it got slightly warmer, and we didn’t end up needing it. But the cold is fast approaching, and with it the snow and ice.

Here’s a portent, of sorts:

Some moisture had apparently got between the glass panes on the double-glazed freezer doors at a local supermarket. These shots are of the beautiful ice crystals that had formed within. (Yes, I took a photo of a freezer door whilst grocery shopping).

The designs were fractal, and impossibly small at the edges.
