Snow is falling..

...well not just yet...but it's blumin' freezing outside today! *burr*

60 shopping days left until Christmas...wow I love this time of year :))

Well you'll be pleased to learn that since my last post I've found a job...yes you heard right someone has actually employed me...I'm so relieved!...no before you comment I'm not going to be a "Happy Little Elf" in the Metro Centre thank you...although I do have a penchant for green :p...I am actually the newest member of the team in my local Pharmaceuticals store.

Don't start until November 5th though (My favourite day of the year may I add)...I don't know why but I love the dark nights, crisp clean air & the excuse to wrap up warm & huddle around a bonfire with all my friends...it's a magic time of year I feel :)

I am however (you can sense a rant coming on cant you :p) slightly annoyed to find that the officials in my town have arranged our firework display for November 1st???...why would they do this...have they not heard the rhyme "remember remember the 5th of November"...the whole point of the night is to remember the night when Guy Fawkes almost blew up the houses of Parliament...which was certainly not November 1st...they'll be re-arranging Christmas next! hmpf (rant over) :D

Well that's my little lot for the moment...I'm off to mitten shop now!!

Snow is falling, all around me. Children playing, having fun. Tis the
season for love and understanding...

Solar cells you can paint?!

OK so I heard about this a while back & it really interested me...with being a big geek & all!

Researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology claim they've created a solar cell which is cheap and can be painted or printed on flexible plastic sheets. According to Somenath Mitra, professor of the Institutes department of chemistry and environmental sciences the process is so simple that eventually it will be possible to print sheets of solar cells with inexpensive home-based ink jet printers.

"Consumers can then slap the finished product on a wall, roof or billboard to create their own power stations."

Apparently the Nanotechnology used is far more efficient at harnessing the suns energy than the regular solar cells we use today.

Imagine some day driving in your hybrid car with a solar panel painted on the roof, which is producing electricity to drive the engine. Kitchen appliances can also be painted with the stuff so they can power themselves...mobile phones...mp3 players! the opportunities are endless!

I'm getting a bit carried away with this now so I'll stop there :p

Toon Treble Sinks Spurs!

I shouldn't really be boasting about what in all honesty was a shockingly bad performance from the Geordie's...but luckily for us Spurs were even worse on the night, handing us a much needed & appreciated three points *thanks lads* oh & the goals from Martins, Cacapa (1st goal in Black & White may I add) & Milner helped maintain our UNBEATEN** home campaign!

Random Fact *Newcastle have scored more Premier League goals
against Tottenham than any other club...46 to be exact!*...thought you'd like to know (well you will if your a daft Mag like me!).

This places us comfortably behind Chelsea now in 8th place...but with a game still in hand...we've still got a chance of climbing a little higher in the table...haven't we?!?

...bring on Reading! :D

OCD?!?

House has been cleaned top to bottom...dinner made...dishes washed...Cooker/Oven de-greased...re-arranged cutlery drawer...*argh* I so need a job!!!
