well it has been a while since I last fell off my bike. Did it spectacularly yesterday morning, went out before sunrise not so difficult this time of the year but fell foul of a frozen stream on a particularly steep bank and went properly over the handlebars landing on my finger, it hurt a lot. Fortunately not my drawing hand.

it snowed. nice. Newcastle quayside by night; nice too.

Jupiter Venus and a crescent moon. Jupiter is above Venus and very dim- not having ever gone to school.

read up about the comon cold this weekend having had one it seems the virus cannot live outside the body unless coated in mucus so if you get a cold you have most likely injested someone else's mucus coated virus; nice! not.
