Been a very tiring time - lots of work. Way behind on painting - only 1 more flower fairy done. No astrology for ages, tho I need to check what's retrograde at the moment, cos something definitely is!

Went to a fantastic presentation on climate change yesterday evening - speaker from a govt science body who shot down the idea of sunspots causing global warming IN FLAMES! He also very patiently explained to an audience member that although another ice age might happen in the future, it would be tens of thousands of years away, not 10 years away, so we couldn't rely on it to slow down global warming! I sound a bit jubilant - it's because I get really cross with the media pundits leaping onto the nay-saying bandwagon with the benefit (generally) of no scientific knowledge to encumber their widely published opinions. * goes off to lie down in darkened room*

Big dinner party tomorrow so I need to find a decent recipe for chocolate torte!
