The media would like you to think so, so would the Bush administration and various other government worldwide who don't want to rock the status quo but looking at this graph and realising what it means is damn scary.

If the ice caps melt at the rate they're going at (the thick black line apparently shows actual figures as recorded by satellite images) then we mightn't have any ice cap left by as soon as 2020.

And the thing is individuals acting alone can't make enough difference to change that, it's got to be countries, governments, laws/practices, different ways of doing things. Now is the time to write to your MP, petition your government to do something more than the vague promises they put about to get that "green vote".

Today so far I have - written to my MP, my County Councillor (about cycling and allotment provisions), my District Councillors (about local common and allotments) am formulating letter for my MEP's in the European Parliament. Also signed up for the below.

I’m going to be helping to Recharge the Media in December, to make sure the media and the government get the message about climate change.

Managed an 8 hour day today. Feeling good that I got a good amount of work done compared to all those short days last week because of the headache. It's kind of still there peripherally, but chiropractors tomorrow evening so hopefully that won't be an issue soon, at least not for another 4 months or so.

No sign of the ipod today. Only 4 days left for it to arrive on time. I'm also expecting two other parcels, from the US, one is my Sam N Max order and the other the return parcel from

weirfan. Hopefully they will all arrive this week and not next, since the latter half we'll be in Germany. I'm also a little anxious to have heard nothing further from new landlords about the signing of the contract that was to be either tomorrow evening or on Wednesday. We literally can't do it any other day and they'd suggested neither could they, plus we wanted to sign it before giving notice for here which we have to do this week as the months notice was to start on the 12th - this coming Saturday.

Anyhow, off I go to washup and then do a bit of tidying and cleaning too. Might have some free fun time by 9pm maybe. Don't quite know what to do, though it may end up spent figuring out RAM configurations as fixing the old pc provided one spare 1GB stick. I swapped it over in my lunchbeak but it's not currently recognising it, just the pair of 256mb. I had those plus another 512mb to start with, presuming it recognised them all would equal 1Gb between them - I hadn't realised this configuration was as so because it'd got changed from the original by some messing around by

fuskyb and

trs998 ages ago. I thought they'd put it back to my default but apparently not. :/

Well, weekend has been both good and bad. Pretty sick yesterday, spent all day in bed sleeping, trying to sleep or reading. Finished Terry Pratchett's "Making Money," which as I'd heard suggested was not as good as "Going Postal". Still entertaining but not quite as good as expected. I've actually got through nearly all his books now, bar spin off Discworld ones, Strata and the rest of "Small Gods" I think. Recently read "Wee Free Men," "Amazing Maurice and his educated rodents," plus "Wintersmith" - all quite enjoyable even if technically classed as kids books.

Board games was good. No Seafarers of Catan sadly for me but we played Warrior Knights, took 5? hours including several food breaks but most was spent on learning rules and as complicated as it seems it starts to make sense fairly soon after the first round and I wouldn't mind playing again. Had a quick game of Fluxx before ordering takeaway, reminds me must fill in the blanxx for that amusingly, and after dinner we tried Sin City, the board game - possibly the second worst board game I've played, beaten only by The Invisible Man boardgame from 1940/50's that I cannot infact find mention of on the net.

( mimi-review for Sin City boardgame )

Work was good I think, I at least had things given to me to do but had less time at home tonight because we both walked in due to a bike puncture. I spent it online mostly, made a Sanctuary facebook group to pimp out the show, now that they have a 2 minute trailer online for all. Off to watch Ugly Betty before it gets too late for that kind of relaxing.
