See you in 2018 people, and please wish me luck in Tromso

Got a bunch of things to get finished before Christmas, and judging from the falling number of blog readers (thanks, Google Analytics), so has everyone else. So for everyone’s sake, I’m calling a blog break til the New Year. After Christmas I’ll be heading off to the top of Norway to try and see the Northern Lights.

If there are clear skies, it could like this

On the other hand, if it’s cloudy, it will be dark 24/7 and the view will be more like this…….

In other words, a high risk holiday.

Have a good break (if you’re taking one) and see you in 2018.

Oh, and it’s the shortest day of the year today (if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere), always a good time to reread John Donne’s A Nocturnal upon St. Lucy’s Day.
