Northern Lights?!
    | | Today I started a beginner's yoga class. Later on, M**** mentioned about the Northern Lights and all these amazing pictures she's recently seen online. So I figured . . . go for a quick drive, somewhere very dark with good views north. I did this (we are fortunate to being about a ten minute drive from such a place), and took loads of photographs with varying amount of exposure but, lacking a tripod, I had to rest the camera on the roof of the car and hope for the best. Fortunately, the camera can be controlled using an app, with the camera effectively working as a wifi hotspot. It was an exceptionally clear night, I had a decent spot with unobstructed views north but still . . . no northern lights that I could discern.

Kirkby Lonsdale
   | | This was a bit of a gamble, in terms of the weather forecast. It looked like some heavy rain was on its way, but that Kirkby Lonsdale would be relatively unscathed. After lunch, whilst wandering along the river, towards John Ruskin's view (currently closed), through the churchyard, and back into town . . . we had a shower lasting about 5 minutes, but that was it, so I think our gamble paid of.

C-parity is only defined for mesons that are their own antiparticle
        | | So yeah . . . it was Monday evening, the weather was fine, I hadn't been out of the house that day and so went for a quick walk up Clougha. Well, I say quick . . . probably a couple of hours.

Go karting!
   | | Today we (me, Pop, A****** and R******) went go-karting, somewhere on the outskirts of Preston. Oh, but we went for lunch first, at The Barn (Scorton). After an, erm . . . interesting journey there (A****** driving with R****** in the Peugeot; me and Pop in Pop's car), involving a couple of missed junctions, we got to the go-karting place with plenty of time to spare (my planning had included contingencies to allow for delays on the roads, fortunately). The go-karts were all electric, and had to be recharged after a 15-minute run, but we managed to get three 15-minute sessions out of them, and it was all good, with the boys (naturally) winning most of the races. Over the next few days, after the go-karting, there was much achiness and soreness. Ouch. But worth it!
