Forget the Fireworks
Forget the fireworks displays that took place today to see in the new year. The best display was saved for the early evening when a rather fantastic burst of the Northern Lights illuminated the Swansea skies. Thanks to a really excellent piece of kit Mrs E got from Santa, which she set up on the roof outside our attic window, we didn't even need to leave the house to be entertained with this appearance:
Here are a couple of pics of it from my phone camera too:
Thanks to Mrs E's technical skills, we can even present this phantasmagorical timelapse of the whole display for your delectation. Happy New Year!

A Family Night Out
Spent a lovely Saturday out with the family as my daughter was down from Norwich with her bf. Started off with a stroll around Mumbles, making the most of the mild evening.
Went for a high-class drink then at the Gin & Juice, where we tried their delicious Die Hard cocktail.
After that, we all headed down to Swansea Arena, where we watched the very funny Jimmy Carr.
I thought I'd close this post with some pics of the inside of Swansea's most controversial bridge, which connects the arena with the town centre, as it was my daughter's first time seeing it. I'm a big fan of the interior of the bridge but wish the exterior was painted more of a copper colour.

Bog Plants & Pen Inspection
We found a parcel waiting for us this morning from Hampshire Carnivorous Plants. They literally brought our bathroom windowsill to life:
It has been a bit of a hectic week at work. My application for a new job has landed me an interview next week, so I have at least a glimmer of hope for a fresh start. Whilst it is great news that I have the chance for a new work position, it makes for a stressful weekend as I prepare for the forthcoming interview. Whilst the written word presents me at my best, interviews tend to present me at my worst due to my anxiety/
Anyway, time to get my head down. I'll end this post with a short video I took of little fudjcat being introduced to my new pen lol:
