A sadder, emptier world

Today the world became a slightly emptier place as one of the true visionaries of our time passed away.

Arthur C. Clarke, you will be missed by many and remembered through the thoughts and ideas you willingly shared with us.

Winter

After having a lovely warm season with flowers and green grass and mostly rain and wind as cold weather, it started snowing yesterday. So, winter finally arrives in march.

Photo taken out my window.

One of 2 Housewarming gifts I have received so far

New home

Part of my kitchen windows. Really grey weather today, unfortunately. My more cared-for plants wound up in here :)


















And livingroom window, with a mix of survivor plants.

Landscape that is visibly glacier-shaped.

Something I love.

Time to move!

So.

Hyper. Got the keys for the new flat yesterday. Moving saturday (three whole days left only!). Tomorrow mother is coming to help me focus my attention on packing.

Got problems sleeping, so hyper due to the move and also because it is the Week of Interrupted Sleep. I keep getting up in the night, though I have mostly managed to get back to sleep after refreshing the Current Standings page. Another good source of information can be found here, and here is the route they use this year.

Other news.. Trying to relearn NOT to hit enter after every word in Irc. I think I am getting better already but only time will tell. Hopefully the internet connection will already be working in the new flat when I move in - else I will be offline for a while.

So.. well.. not much more to say. Other than.. PLEASE come and help me move saturday... :)

A week of interrupted sleep awaits.

It is that time of year again.
