The Asylum

[Esioul]

If you count the news that I am in the lab as news, well, there you go.

[The Ace]

It's raining in Scotland.

[Esioul]

Is that really news, Ace? Isn't that what usually happens in Scotland, every day? It's like me telling you that it's grey and a bti drizzly in Durham

[The Ace]

I was replying to Allanon the same way you were.

[Allanon]

Haha, i lived in Scotland for a year, loved it! and lived near Durham for a while. Back in Yorkshire now though!! I see you've been talking about our recent solar typhoon! rather fascinating that don't you think. it hasn't affected many satellites thought, which i was expecting.

[Esioul]

Wow, the archaeology department have got a new delivery of buckets. The excitement of the week.... I can see them all scurrying about outside.

[Allanon]

Ahhhhhhhh, archeologists and their buckets! like peas in a pod!

what exactly do you do Es?

[Esioul]

A PhD in Arch and Geography, I'm mostly in geography these days. I'm trying to persuade the geographers that they want to go out tonight.

[Allanon]

Good luck with that! Tell them i said they should go!!

My wife's out tonight with her friends so i'm having a Boy's night in! Me, my Six year old boy and my 6 Month old boy, are getting a curry and watching a film!! Well, not the six month old! He's on the milk!

[Vertigo]

Well it's actually not raining up here in Inverness and that is news

Northern lights 'wise, unfortunately we had cloud last night so saw nothing, funnily enough last time I saw them was driving north across the border on the Carlisle side of the country - quite a good display. Used to live in Shetland a long time ago and was spoilt there, with good displays being quite common. Still want to get into the far North of Norway sometime to hopefully see some really good displays.

*Wanders in* Morning...no, wait, a little too late for that...Afternoon!

And Allanon, you moose! Where've you been hiding?

[The Ace]

Freda scuttles in;

Nice Orange One !

"FREDA ! You're soaking wet. No hugs until you dry off."

Exhibit F. fetches the hairdryer and makes puppydog eyes.

"I swear you do that deliberately."

Starts to blow-dry her.

[Esioul]

I really want to see the Northern lights properly. I think I'm goign to have to be quite firm with the geographers to get them out, and staying out.

[Vertigo]

Hope you won't be disappointed. To be fair that far south you will never get a really bright display. Also bear in mind that they can come and go. They might show for ten minutes then nothing for an hour and then be back again for an hour and so on.

Hi Freda that's a lovely hair do - didn't know Ace was so talented with a dryer!
