-26 degrees right now...and the wierd feeling of frozen snot

It's quite interesting...outside it's minus 26 and inside i'm sitting here with a singlet on...
Poor Khan is out there working...I catch up with him sometimes halfway through his 12 hour shift...this morning his eyebrows and eyelashes had icicles on them...he's very tired but it's his birthday tomorrow (today in Melbourne) and tonight is his last shift. Big night at Woody's tomorrow, lots of people are coming...unfortunately I'm working the next day...
I've made a cake for him which I'm hoping to ice when I get home from work...

PLease if yr going to call, check the time...I'm going to be cranky if the phone wakes me up...i should be asleep now...got to get up in less than 5 hours...

Saw the northern lights tonight...freaking amazing...couldn't catch it on film too well but may try again with long exposure and a tripod...it's a little hard to stay still when the beyond freezing air is biting at your hands...

Our floor is now full.there is a total of 9 of us here and we've won the cleanest floor award for this month which means we get beer and junk food...cool...

oooooh nearly forgot about the snot...as you breath, it kinda freezes and it feels like when you've got really crusty snot yanking at the tiny hairs in yr nostrils...very peculiar feeling...

rugging up big time tomorrow, looking at 3 pairs of thermals under my snow pants and 2 thermals, 1 wind fleece, 2 long sleeve fleeces and my work jackket but i may take another fleece as back up.

I have managed to get a cold, Laura my floormate graciously gave it to me, but the way I see it is, at least I'm getting it over and done with...

ok sleep time...

make sure you wish khan a happy birthday...

Happy Birthday Khan!!! WOOHOO
Sorry I'm a bit late dude... not much happening around Melbourne, the weather is getting good here, great bike riding weather in fact, which you prob don't wanna hear given you have to got to work in minus 1 million degrees...but you get to snowboard and stuff, so thats a fair trade off Id reckon
ANyhoo, hope you had a top berfday!
Later skater
