Frost on ground and cars. A nice sunny morning, cloud looks like all
old aircraft trails spread across the sky, some very weak mock suns
at time; only a red smudges, a copper coloured sunrise.


At the risk of repeating myself:

Hit this link when you see a warning of sfog/s frost, or
experience it yourself:

Damned lack of database Must remember to include frost with fog. /

PS

There are other similar ET sites;I am not spamming on behalf of E
Habich, it's just that I have this tabbed in Opera -which is a
constant in these interesting times.

PPS:

Is this Castleford the same Castleford that appeared on Country File
today?

I am almost sure I found similar stones as Bluejohn on Abergele beach
many times. Any idea what the "special chemicals" that appear in the
crystal are?

I discarded mine as I assumed that having been in the sea, the
fluorspar was ruined for lapidiary. But it seems that the stuff has to
be treatd with resin before it can be worked. The irritating thing is
that I know how to use polyester resins and could have easily treated
mine but I didn't see the point.
