ood news!!! Cora called in collect as I was leaving work tonight. I don't know anymore details than that, but sufficient to say that her mother is very happy. Especially since it is Cora's birthday today.

Cold weather has settled in here again. It was -17C when I woke up this morning. The house was only 14C but I did not feel that cold. My hair froze instantly when I went outside this morning however. Nice sunny day here again. The starts were magnificent last night. I started to look for the northern lights, but to no avail. I have not seen them in a long time and starting to get impatient.
