To Trina's today for lunch and some Christmas doings. (I better not mention the shortbread tarts.)

Another damp, gray day, the kind of day when you are glad you are not relying on rooftop solar even though you desperately want it and can't wait to disconnect from the commerical grid. Tonight, very windy with the temp dropping, which is making Green Egg ignition a bit problematic.

Today in the news we learned that Mars is burping methane, which if true, probably means that life exists everywhere in the universe. And that has implications.
