Just finished writing up my meteor observations, which, yeah, I was putting it off until pretty late, waiting until last night, but if I'd done it sooner, I wouldn't have got to see the utterly wizard aurora borealis display that was going on last night.

Actually, I'm thinking about going out again tonight to see if it's doing it again, only I'm pretty much knackered and may pack in early. Depends.

Anyone keen to play some chess?

Have you got yours written up, then?

I'd've done it sooner if I'd known it would be as nift as it was, yeah? Anywiz, glad you hadn't done yours, either, yet.

It was wiz, wasn't it? I wonder if we'll get extra for seeing the borealis. I mean, even if we don't, that's okay.

I'm about halfway done. I was having a bit of trouble with the first bit, where we're supposed to describe the way we sorted out the angles and things, because I wasn't taking notes while we went. Maybe we could talk after dinner tomorrow just to make sure I've got it right?

I guess it wasn't even a really great one. The aurora, I mean. Some of the NEWT 7s were talking about it today, but I thought it was excellent. The way the lights sort of shot up out of the glow now and then. I haven't seen it very many times. Once when I was about four or five. Mum and Dad woke us up and we walked up a hill out beyond our place. And then back in first year, it happened once, and that had more colours, I guess. But last night's was nift. Shame they don't happen very often.

And, yeah, we could totally talk about it tomorrow if you want. I think I figured out what to say about the angles. Bundy told me what she'd done, and it made sense.

Good.

And that's pretty nift, about your parents. I bet it was pretty amazing if you can remember it from that far back.

Yeah, I guess it was. It was a pretty amazing aurora, too. Or maybe I just thought so because I was small and they were letting us get up in the middle of the night. So, yeah.
