Jan 20 A rainy day in England. There are a few blurry spots on this pic that appear to be ghostly apparations...I think they are called rain drops.

It's easiest to be sour about the things which can go wrong from time to time, but today I choose to look at the glass half full.
Good things which happened today:
1.) A really nice old man who adores Chuy gave us a bouquet of fresh basil from his garden when we walked passed his yard this morning.
2.) My Art Lecturer was extremely helpful.
Things I know will get sorted out:
1.) University Admin Glitch: unbeknownst to me, they changed the unit code and classifications for one of my Art subjects and I ended up attending a class which I already completed in my second year.
Now I need to sort it out with my Course Coordinator - it may be too late for me to enrol into a new unit so instead of finishing this semester, I might have to do 1 unit next semester...
I'm sure it'll all work out..

My friend over in the town of Tring, to the West of me, told me there was an electrical storm going on over her way. I grabbed my camera and headed to the garden to see if I could grab a shot of the lightning. I am quite pleased with this effort. The colour of the sky is amazing!
It was 75 degrees today and supposed to get down into the 40's tonight with wind chills in the 30's, then back into the 70's tomorrow. I had to cover all my planters, so hopefully, my plants will survive the brief cold snap

In case any 365ers wonder about the "date taken" information, I never bother to change them, but of course, when you process something, that date is altered. Just in case anyone noticed the consistent inconsistency there
Saw this on my morning walk. According to the local weather guy, these are noctilucent clouds that are made of ice crystals due to the Falcon 9 rocket launch this morning.
Pretty scarf I got as a birthday gift from friends. I believe that one can never have too many scarves (or mugs).

Continuing on my experimental natural dyeing. This yarn was dyed this glorious colour using the blossoms of daffodils. When boiling them up, the dyebath actually smelled rather yummy, but after 48 hours it started to smell like cheesy whotsits. Nice quite so nice, but well worth it for the result!
Wellington boots are frankly uncomfortable as well as unattractive - so if you have to wear them you really owe it to yourself to find every puddle and mud pool you possibly can and squelch your way through them all!

What keeps you rising out of bed each morning?
My Mum always used to tell me that there will always be someone out there who's smarter, stronger, taller (although, almost everyone is, compared to me), better looking and just generally better... she always left a gaping pause before telling me that the important thing is to "make do with what you've got". The smart-ass in me always asked "But what if you haven't got much?"... And with sullen impatience, she would say; "Then, just pray for some luck, cause you're gonna need it." She never did have the knack for sugar-coating bitter truths; a disciple of tough love, Mum never hesitates to tell it like it is.
Sometimes, I find myself wondering how people end up living on the streets here in Australia or anywhere in the world. When I see people sleeping with their cardboard boxes and plastic bags, I don't ever reserve any judgment, but I find myself asking questions. Then, I drift off and wonder, if I ever end up in the streets, would I have the strength to wake up in the morning?
Nothing is ever as bad as it seems. And like my sweet Mum always chants "Today is a new day, let us rejoice and be glad in it..."
