Lo scoiattolo non va in letargo durante l'inverno. Si limita ad alternare periodi di sonno prolungato con periodi di modesta attività per la ricerca del cibo. Uno scoiattolo può vivere fino a 4-5 anni.
Clevedon is an English seaside town in Somerset. It lies along the Severn Estuary and features in the Domesday Book of 1086.
Clevedon grew in the Victorian period as a seaside resort and in the 20th century as a dormitory town for Bristol.
The seafront has ornamental gardens, a Victorian bandstand and other attractions including the Marine Lake
Clevedon Pier, which opened in 1869, is one of the earliest surviving examples of a Victorian pier. On 17 October 1970, two outward spans collapsed when the seventh set of legs from the shore failed during a routine insurance load test. A trust was eventually formed and the pier and its buildings were restored and reopened on 27 May 1989, when the Waverley paddle steamer berthed and took on passengers.
Original MidJourney AI assisted digital abstract with iPad Pro, TouchRetouch, procreate, and Apple Pencil.
I recently tried out the new Text-to-Image AI called MidJourney. I am blown away. The quality of its images is a huge step up from previous tools I’ve used (‘WOMBO Dream, Starry AI, and NightCafe).
The output still needs to be upscaled, de-noised, and repainted a bit, but not nearly as much as with other tools.
The user interface is a crazy nightmare… Imagine a Unix-style command line you access from a Discord chat server. There is a bit of a learning curve, but the output is worth it.

within a period of 10 minutes i woke up, jumped in and out of the shower and literally ran outside with a huge buzz of excitement when i saw fog (first time i've seen fog since last winter and i LOVE it)
hahahaha. i mean, most shots didn't work out because of my 50mm lens to fit this whole thing in i had to have the camera pretty far away, and it was too far for the camera to respond to my remote.. so it was all a case of 'self timer and RUN RUN RUN' hahaha most times i didn't make it. fun!!!!

1923 Locomobile, Model 48 from the Nickel period. $9000 dollars when new in 1923!
Locomobile was one of the earliest manufacturers in the advent of the automobile age. For the first two years after it's founding in 1899, the company was located in Watertown Massachusetts. In 1900, production was transferred to Bridgeport, Connecticut where it remained until the company's demise in 1929. The example above is a 1923 Model 48 touring car, and a very original example that had been owned by one family for over 60 years. Power is provided by a 525ci T-head 6 cylinder engine that is rated at a true 100hp. President Warren G. Harding had the exact some car and model during his tenure in the White House.
Model 48 and the Durant years
The most important for the marque became the impressive Model 48. Introduced in 1911 as the "type M," it had a very conservative, perhaps dated, concept. It had a conventional but huge chassis with a wheelbase of 143 inches (3,632 mm). Its engine was a straight six with side valves; cylinders were still cast in pairs and it featured a nonremovable cylinder head. Displacement was 429.4 cu in (7.0 L), from a 41⁄2+ in × 41⁄2+ in (114 mm × 114 mm) bore and stroke, giving it a 48.6-hp tax rating by the North American Chamber of Commerce. While called the "M" internally, this car is usually referred to by its tax hp rating. The brake horsepower rating was somewhere north of 90 for the original model, higher in the later versions. Quality of materials and workmanship were impeccable and among the best in the world. Such was also its pricing: A typical open-body cost about $10,000 when the average Model T Ford Phaeton cost about $300. Locomobile also offered custom designs for the lamps and metal work, carried out by Tiffany Studios. Until 1915, left- or right-hand drive could be specified; afterwards, left-hand drive became standard. Right-hand drive cars were meant for export and sat on a chassis four inches shorter. Around 1919, the engine was updated with a longer 51⁄2+ in (140 mm) stroke, for 525 cu in (8.6 L) displacement while retaining the same tax hp rating.
A smaller "38 hp" model, very similar to the Model 48, was added in 1913. The model 38 has a 425 cu in (7.0 L), 62 bhp (46 kW) version of the T-head six and sits on a somewhat shorter 140 inches (3,556 mm) wheelbase. By 1914, Locomobile had stopped selling all four-cylinder models to concentrate exclusively on sixes.
In July 1922, Locomobile was acquired by Durant Motors, which not only continued using the Locomobile brand name for their top-of-the-line autos until 1929, but also still produced the Model 48 until its demise in 1929. Until the mid-1920s, this car was Locomobile's only offering. In 1925, the marque brought out their first new model, the 8-66 Junior Eight, with a more contemporary straight-eight engine, and more importantly, a lower price of $1,785.

Becán ist eine archäologische Stätte und vormaliges Zentrum der Maya der präklassischen Periode. Sie befindet sich im mexikanischen Bundesstaat Campeche, im Zentrum der Yucatán-Halbinsel, 150 Kilometer nördlich von Tikal.
Der Name Becán bedeutet in Mayathan „Schlucht, von Wasser geformt“ und bezieht sich auf den umgebenden Graben, der einzigartig für eine Maya-Stätte ist. Becán, das im Rio-Bec-Stil erbaut ist, war ein regionales religiöses und politisches Zentrum der Maya. Die ersten Nachweise menschlicher Besiedelung gehen ins Jahr 600 v. Chr. zurück. Die Blütezeit der Stadt war jedoch in den Jahren 600–1000, bewohnt war die Stadt bis etwa 1250.
Die Stadt ist von einem Graben umgeben, der an sieben Stellen unterbrochen war. Er war damit kein wirksames militärisches Hindernis, oder wurde nicht als solches fertiggestellt.
Becan is an archaeological site of the Maya civilization in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. Becan is located near the center of the Yucatán Peninsula, in the present-day Mexican state of Campeche,Archaeological evidence shows that Becan was occupied in the middle Preclassic Maya period, about 550 BCE, and grew to a major population and ceremonial center a few hundred years later in the late Preclassic.
Au nord du département de la Meuse et à seulement 10 km de la Belgique, sur son promontoire, Marville n’est pas un village lorrain de 500 âmes comme les autres. Ses belles façades Renaissance, sa monumentale église Saint-Nicolas et son étonnant cimetière Saint-Hilaire interpellent. Mais c’est aussi en visitant l’intérieur des riches demeures et leurs caves séculaires que l’on peut juger de l’activité de ce qui fut la deuxième ville du Luxembourg au 16e siècle avec plus de 2500 habitants.
Marville détient un nombre important de monuments classés. Son histoire commence au Moyen-Âge, sous le règne du puissant comte Thiébaut 1er de Bar qui s'empare du village pour y édifier une forteresse. Mais la période de la Renaissance est la plus épatante et Marville possède de rares témoins de la Renaissance espagnole en Gaume, avec ses belles façades, nées de l'implantation de familles nobles, bourgeoises ou commerçantes attirées par l'époque prospère du 16e siècle.
Les bâtisses témoignent de cette période fastueuse. Chaque pas de porte, chaque façade est passionnante et différente. On vous chuchote les noms de quelques demeures remarquables : la maison des Drapiers, la maison des Négociants, l’hôtel d’Egremont et la maison du Chevalier Michel.

The daylily is an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. It’s virtually disease-free, pest-free, and drought-resistant; it’s also not picky about soil quality. Plus, the flower has a long bloom period! Here’s how to plant and care for daylilies in your garden, as well as how to easily propagate them for more plants!
About Daylilies
The daylily’s botanical name, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek hemera (“day”) and kallos (“beauty”). The name is appropriate since each flower lasts only one day! However, each scape has 12 to 15 buds on it, and a mature plant can have 4 to 6 scapes, which is why the flower seems to bloom continuously.
Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well that many of us think of them as natives. Imagine the excitement of a 16th-century explorer cruising the Orient and finding these gorgeous plants! European gardeners welcomed daylilies into their gardens, and when early colonists sailed for the New World, daylilies made the crossing with them.
Despite their name, daylilies are not “true lilies” and grow from fleshy roots. True lilies grow from onion-like bulbs and are of the genus Lilium, as are Asiatic and Oriental lilies. In the case of daylilies, leaves grow from a crown, and the flowers form on leafless stems—called “scapes”—which rise above the foliage.
There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. Combine early, midseason, late blooming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall. If you see a height listed alongside a daylily variety, this refers to the length of the scape. Some can reach 6 feet tall!
For more information please visit
www.almanac.com/plant/daylilies
These Daylilies were photographed at Pashley Manor Gardens. At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

Sacred Kingfisher
Scientific Name: Todiramphus sanctus
Description: The Sacred Kingfisher is a medium sized kingfisher. It has a turquoise back, turquoise blue rump and tail, buff-white underparts and a broad cream collar. There is a broad black eye stripe extending from bill to nape of neck. Both sexes are similar, although the female is generally lighter with duller upper parts. Young birds are similar to the female, but have varying amounts of rusty-brown edging to feathers on the collar and underparts, and buff edges on the wing coverts.
Distribution: The Sacred Kingfisher is common and familiar throughout the coastal regions of mainland Australia and less common throughout Tasmania. The species is also found on islands from Australasia to Indonesia and New Zealand.
Habitat: The Sacred Kingfisher inhabits woodlands, mangroves and paperbark forests, tall open eucalypt forest and melaleuca forest.
Seasonal movements: In Australia, Sacred Kingfishers spend the winter in the north of their range and return south in the spring to breed.
Feeding: Sacred Kingfishers forage mainly on the land, only occasionally capturing prey in the water. They feed on crustaceans, reptiles, insects and their larvae and, infrequently, fish. The birds perch on low exposed branch on the lookout for prey. Once prey is located, the Sacred Kingfisher swoops down and grasps it in its bill, returning to the perch to eat it.
Breeding: For most of the year Sacred Kingfishers are mainly solitary, pairing only for the breeding season. Usually two clutches are laid in a season. Both sexes excavate the nest, which is normally a burrow in a termite mound, hollow branch or river bank. The nest chamber is unlined and can be up to 20m above the ground. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young.
Calls: The voice of the Sacred Kingfisher is a loud "ek ek ek ek" repeated continuously throughout breeding season. Birds also give a "kee kee kee" in excitement and a series of chirring, scolding notes when alarmed.
Minimum Size: 19cm
Maximum Size: 24cm
Average size: 21cm
Average weight: 45g
Breeding season: September to December; occasionally extended to March, if conditions are favourable.
Clutch Size: 3 to 6
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 26 days

Kilchurn castle. The Campbells of Glenorchy were the most powerful cadet branch of the Clan Campbell, and over two centuries from the 1430s came to dominate the central Highlands. The building of several castles, of which Kilchurn was the first, was a key part of their territorial expansion during this period
It is a pity this Vespa wasn't a little older, but given its relative lack of change of appearance over the years I was happy to come across this combination of an original Fiat 500 and the scooter.

It may not look it, but because of the tight angle I had here this is two vertical images stitched together.
A short period of time it was when I was forced to sell my camera and as an obvious result of that at the moment I didn’t have any at hand. By the way, I bought every camera I have owned in recent years with that in my mind - if necessary I would sell them. It was so in this case too except that this time I decided not to buy a cheaper camera in order to just have one but took some courage and appealing to the good terms we were with one of my friends, but beg him to lend me his 5d markIII for a few days. There was this beautiful autumn with plenty to make photos of, and I was desperate to not miss these wonderful opportunities so I grabbed it and went for a walk to catch some light. This is the short story of this picture :)

Merry Christmas to all you lovelies out there!! Have an epic holiday period!!
and me as the Phoenix
And the scene story begins....
It was a picturesque winter evening at the Xavier Institute, snow gently falling outside, and the warm glow of Christmas lights twinkling inside. But in the dining room? Absolute chaos.
Jean Grey, a.k.a. Phoenix, stood at the center of the table, literally on fire. Her flames engulfed the candelabras, lighting them all at once while everyone shielded their eyes.
“Jean, maybe tone it down?” Cyclops yelled, squinting behind his visor.
“YOU WANTED AMBIANCE!” she replied, flames whooshing upward and singing the mistletoe.
Meanwhile, Wolverine was hunched over the dessert table, growling as he used his adamantium claws to slice the pumpkin pie.
“Who needs a knife when ya got the goods?” he muttered, flicking pie crumbs onto Cyclops, who dodged them like projectiles.
Storm hovered midair in the dining room, whipping up mashed potatoes with her wind powers. The whirlwind was so strong that bits of potato splattered on the walls, the ceiling, and poor Professor X’s bald head.
“Ororo,” he said, calmly wiping mashed spuds off his temple. “Could you stir with just a spoon next time?”
“No time for spoons, Charles!” she called back, summoning a small thunderclap for dramatic effect.
Suddenly, the front door slammed open, and in flew Rogue, her super-strength evident as she carried an absolutely gigantic turkey above her head.
“Ah got the bird, y’all!” she hollered, soaring over the table.
“Wait, don’t drop it!” Cyclops shouted.
“Who’s droppin’ it?!” Rogue retorted, but just as she swooped low, Cyclops took the opportunity to blast the turkey with his optic beam.
The turkey cooked instantly, sizzling and golden-brown as it landed perfectly on the centerpiece platter.
“Dinner’s served!” Cyclops said proudly.
The team cheered, except for Xavier, who muttered, “Does anyone here understand basic food safety?”
Just as they began to sit, the turkey gave an ominous creak—Rogue’s strength had squished it slightly, and it was leaking stuffing like a broken piñata.
“Oh, come on!” shouted Wolverine, clawing at a drumstick.
And yet, despite the mess—the flames, the mashed potato cyclone, and the very questionable turkey—it was an X-Men Christmas dinner for the ages.
“Next year,” muttered Professor X, sipping his wine, “we’re ordering pizza.”

My fourth attempt over a long period, and still a struggle to get something respectable. It is such a lovely scene to the eye, yet bedevilled by wires, cables, telegraph poles, cars, refuse bins, TV aerials, etc. Still not great, but this one is probably as good as it is ever going to get.
Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Crimson Rosella
Platycercus elegans
Description: There are several colour forms of the Crimson Rosella. The form it is named for has mostly crimson (red) plumage and bright blue cheeks. The feathers of the back and wing coverts are black broadly edged with red. The flight feathers of the wings have broad blue edges and the tail is blue above and pale blue below and on the outer feathers. Birds from northern Queensland are generally smaller and darker than southern birds. The 'Yellow Rosella' has the crimson areas replaced with light yellow and the tail more greenish. The 'Adelaide Rosella' is intermediate in colour, ranging from yellow with a reddish wash to dark orange. Otherwise, all the forms are similar in pattern. Young Crimson Rosellas have the characteristic blue cheeks, but the remainder of the body plumage is green-olive to yellowish olive (occasionally red in some areas). The young bird gradually attains the adult plumage over a period of 15 months
Similar species: The adult Crimson Rosella is similar to male Australian King-Parrots, but differs by having blue cheeks, shoulders, and tail, a whitish, rather than red, bill and a dark eye. Immature Crimson Rosellas also differ from female and immature King-Parrots by having blue cheeks, a whitish bill and a more yellow-green rather than dark green colouring.
Distribution: There are several populations of the Crimson Rosella. Red (crimson) birds occur in northern Queensland, in southern Queensland to south-eastern South Australia and on Kangaroo Island. Orange birds are restricted to the Flinders Ranges region of South Australia, while yellow ones are found along the Murray, Murrumbidgee and neighbouring rivers (where yellow birds meet red birds they hybridise, producing orange offspring). Red birds have been introduced to Norfolk Island and New Zealand.
Habitat: Throughout its range, the Crimson Rosella is commonly associated with tall eucalypt and wetter forests.
Feeding: Crimson Rosellas are normally encountered in small flocks and are easily attracted to garden seed trays. Once familiar with humans, they will accept hand held food. Natural foods include seeds of eucalypts, grasses and shrubs, as well as insects and some tree blossoms.
Breeding: The Crimson Rosella's nest is a tree hollow, located high in a tree, and lined with wood shavings and dust. The female alone incubates the white eggs, but both sexes care for the young. The chicks remain dependent on their parents for a further 35 days after leaving the nest.
Calls: The Crimson Rosella has a range of calls, the commonest being a two-syllabled "cussik-cussik". It also has a range of harsh screeches and metallic whistles.
Minimum Size: 32cm
Maximum Size: 36cm
Average size: 34cm
Average weight: 129g
Breeding season: September to January
Clutch Size: 4 to 8 (usually 5)
Incubation: 20 days
Nestling Period: 35 days

The eastern view across the Bighorn Basin from just inside Shoshone National Forest. Heart Mountain is the distant peak in the center of the frame. The Absaroka Mountains are behind me, due west, and beyond them is Yellowstone NP.
The Bighorn Basin is an intermontane (surrounded by mountains) plateau in north-central Wyoming approximately 100 miles wide. It is bounded by the Absaroka Mountain Range on the west, the Bighorn Mountains on the east, and the Owl Creek Mountains and Bridger Mountains to the south. The region is semi-arid, receiving only 6–10 in of rain annually, although a bit more than 100,000 acres is sufficiently irrigated from the nearby Buffalo Bill Reservoir to farm sugar beets.
Heart Mountain is an 8,123-foot klippe just north of Cody, Wyoming. The mountain is mostly limestone and dolomite that’s approximately 350 million years old, but it sits on base rock that is only 55 million years old. So, somehow the rock at the summit of Heart Mountain is almost 300 million years older than the rock it sits on???
The rock that formed Heart Mountain was deposited on an ancient seabed of 2.5 billion year-old granite while the area was covered by a large, shallow tropical sea. Up until about 50 million years ago, these rocks lay about 25 miles to the northwest, where the eastern Absaroka Mountain Range now stands. Geologists think that between 50 and 75 million years ago (sometimes geologist are not very precise) a period of tectonic plate activity uplifted the nearby Beartooth Mountain Range to the northwest and caused the adjacent Bighorn and Absaroka Basins to subside. This was followed by volcanic eruptions which over the millennia formed the now extinct volcanoes of the Absaroka Mountain Range just south of the Beartooths. A couple of million years later things started to get interesting when a 500 square mile sheet of rock approximately two to three miles thick detached from a gently sloping plateau along the edge of the newly formed mountains and slid into the Bighorn and Absaroka Basins pushing a large mass of rocks in front of it. Although the slope was less than 2 degrees, the landslide traveled at least 25 miles and the slide ended up covering over 1,300 square miles. This is by far the largest rockslide known to have occurred on land and is comparable in scale to some of the largest known submarine landslides. Geologist still don’t know for sure what caused this huge slab of rocks to start sliding and what allowed it to slide so far on such a gradual slope. However, there seems to be consensus that it happened very rapidly with the front of the sliding mass accelerating to over 100 miles/hour; meaning that the mountain traveled to its present location in approximately 30 minutes.
In the 48 million years since the slide occurred, erosion has removed most of the slide sheet that moved into the Bighorn Basin, leaving just one big block of carbonate rock— Heart Mountain.

This magnificent Japanese Garden which is located in Clingendael Park in The Hague and Due to its fragility, the garden can be visited only during a short period of the year, from end of April to mid June. The vibrant colors and the Intoxicating aromas of the flowers make the visit an unforgettable experience not to be missed.
The Japanese Garden was created in the beginning of the 20th century by the former owner of the country estate of Clingendael, Marguérite M. Baroness van Brienen (1871-1939), also called Lady Daisy. Lady Daisy sailed off a number of times by ship to Japan and brought back to the Netherlands a number of lanterns, a water cask, sculptures, the pavilion, the little bridges and several plants.
The original design with the serene pond, meandering brook and the winding pathways has remained intact all these years.
The Municipality of The Hague has always taken great care of the Japanese Garden because of its uniqueness and tremendous historical value. The garden was placed on the list of national historical monuments in 2001.

Almost 3 weeks ago we had over 11,000 lightning strikes over a 72 hour period. Over 300 fires were started in California. Several of the fires are called "Complexes" because they combine several fires in close proximity. The two largest are over 375,000 acres each. The total of all Cal Fire Incidents is 1.8 million acres.
I have a long distance view & haven't seen more than a few miles or less in the last 3 weeks.
The sunsets don't occur when the sun goes behind the mountain, lately they happen when the sun sinks into a dense layer of smoke over CA's Central Valley.

“And so, another year begins.” Said Sky to his friends.
“Another year? What are you on about, Sky?” Asked Bertie.
“We have just started another year, Bertie.”
“Have we? I didn’t realise we had an old one. Who told you about this?”
“I heard the man say it, Bertie. He said have a happy new year to quite a few hoomans and even the odd bear so I understand.” Explained Sky.
“Interesting, I do wonder what a year is and how he lost the last one and where it went.” Said Barnaby looking confused.
“Me too, Barnaby, shall we look for it and see if we can find it?” Asked Bertie.
“No, I don’t think I will if you don’t mind. You see, I wouldn’t know what it was if I did find it and anyway, what would a bear do with it if one did have it in one’s paw or were even sitting on it? Rather careless of the man to lose the old one though.” Said Barnaby.
“I can understand what you are saying, Barnaby, I don’t think I’ll look either. Posh, do you know what a year is and what it looks like?”
“I almost know, Bertie, for it is a hooman thing. It is a space or period of time.” Explained Posh Bear.
“How did the man lose a space or period of time? It all seems very strange to me. One could lose a jar of honey, well I suppose that might be possible, but a space or period of time… that sounds strange to me.” Said Sky shaking his head in amazement.
“No, you do not understand, hoomans, allot a period, about 365 sleeps, and call it a year and once that space or period of time has passed, they start again. That is called a new year. They count each year as it arrives.” Explained Posh Bear.
“Posh, is 365 more than ten? If so, I am not taking any noticed as it becomes confusing for my bear brain.” Said Barnaby while looking at Sky for confirmation that he was asking a sensible question.
“I agree with Barnaby, I have never found any reason to count to more than ten.” Said Sky.
“What if you have more than ten items that you want to count, Sky?” Asked Posh Bear.
“Simple, I just count to ten and then begin again. So, I might have ten and two or three. Really Posh, I thought you could have worked that out yourself.” Said Sky shaking his head in dismay.
“Well, hoomans do not count like that, Sky. They count beyond ten, so this is year 2024, which is a lot of tens.” Explained Posh Bear.
“Posh, do you know where the man put the year he has lost?” Asked Bertie.
“I said, Bertie, the man didn’t lose the year. It came to an end and so they begin again? Last year was 2023 and so now this year is 2024.” Said Posh Bear wishing he hadn’t got involved in this conversation.
“Well, I’m still not going to look for this lost period or space of time, I didn’t lose it, and so it is not my fault it has gone.” Snapped Bertie.
“I agree with Bertie, I am not looking for it either.” Said Sky.
“Me neither, but I might if I knew what it looked like.” Added Barnaby.
“Anyone bear for honey?” Asked Posh Bear trying to change the subject.
“Good idea, Posh. It is as well we take more care of our honey than the man takes of his period or space of time or we would never have any honey at all.” Said Barnaby.
“Quite right, Barnaby. Come on, let us share a jar of Posh’s honey. You are very kind, Posh, thank you so much for we were wondering how we would get some honey, as we are all out, until it arrives later today.” Said Sky smiling happily.

Its Tuesday morning 1st period. Im very tired and not feeling well. I fell asleep last night around 10pm. Then my mom woke me up at 10:30 for something and i thought it was time to get up, I felt very rested, which is odd. I then went back to bed and slept till 5:30 this morning which is the normal time i wake up, i ate breakfast and then i went back to bed. I slept till 7:10 which is weird. I now feel as if i got no sleep.
Im catching something as well, my throat is killing me, and i just have that feeling that im going to get sick.
Anywho, back to what i was saying, its Tuesday morning 1st period, Im working on my final project for video 1 and i decided for the career that i wanted to talk about is director. I still have yet to film my adapt a story which i hope i can film tomorrow yet they are calling for a shit load of snow later today and tonight and alot of people are preparing for no school tomorrow.
I also should finish my math review homework, i only have a few questions left, but its like my brain gave up. Oh well, we're going over it in class. I have a math test tomorrow. ugggh.
I also have history homework to do. My review sheet. It is due in class which is 9th period so i have awhile, yet i need to study cause the test is also Wednesday.
My school sucks, literally. There was a school board meeting last night, and it was about how they might take out all the art courses in our school so that they can be replaced for the football team. Our football team sucks, we loose every game.
Oh and i finished reading Awakening. It was absolutly amazing. The ending was a little abrupt, but dont fret, Destined will be released in November.
My ipod is acting up. The internet is acting up even though i have Wi-Fi...looks like i might have to call Apple, and Geek Squad.
Hence this is called the Art of Complaints
Rail Adventure's 43480 emerges from the Great Western booking hall which spans the lines between platforms 2 and 3 at Tyseley at dusk on a chilly Friday evening. The 125 Group in association with RA and Chiltern Railways had organised this tour reminiscent of the Master Cutler in connection with the 125th Anniversary of the opening of London Marylebone. 1Z46 was due a crew change here and with that duly completed the tour departed this delightful station which is packed with period features of the railways of yesteryear.
