And this is the view from the front door!
Btw both of these were taken at about 3:30 in the afternoon!!! :-)
Alright, I'll admit, even I can see the beauty of the arctic. 3:30 in the afternoon, huh? Wow! What an amazing sight! What an amazing experience! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get some hot chocolate....that just made me quite cold.
Thanks to my friend DeeJay for pointing this out to me - it was on a BBC2 show.

I drank for happiness and became unhappy; I drank for joy and became miserable. I drank to be out-going and became self-centred; I drank for sociability and became argumentative and lonely; I drank for sophistication and became crude and obnoxious.

Now then my life was made a touch my complicated by the appearance of the Paul Brett signature 12string. This is a slight oddity in that this is a parlour sized guitar which to be honest wasn't my initial desire but has received rave reviews and also has been designed as a 12string from the ground up - unlike the Gordon Giltrap which is an adaptation of a 6 string design. Not unusual to be fair most 12 strings ar...
He's brave. I couldn't take all that cold and dark for longer than a weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it's on another planet somehow! It must feel so surreal. I agree with vicariousrising - v brave.

ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how we can furnish light and heat even to the Arctic. Well done Son of F. I hope he gets a great deal out of it.
