Back to books

Paula got me back in a library spin. Percy Jackson filled my cupboard with black and blue cupcakes, learning about furycrafting in Furies of Calderon, opened the Golden Door from Emily Rodda, and have yet to meet a climate warden.

Nita

Noir Desir - A la longue

She isn't in full colour mode. Jean foretold red irises and coloured streak in her hair.  When she feel belligerent I reckon. Adrenaline coloured. That'd be her, Anita Sawblade.

Active NZ

Read that GNS think Tongariro is likely to erupt again this week. A pumice raft found past the Kermadec Islands, and an awake White Island. Active tectonics.

Decap' four

Was in the lab. yesterday. With me there was Kelke, who was preparing fresh ashes just erupted from Mont Tongariro last Monday (little eruption, all good). And Nellie was cleaning her glassware (=verrerie, note pour Jean). She experiments on various metal and compound. So she gets to clean with v. strong vapour. Wont give the recipe, but you boil bright orange, and it's clean when the orange vapour clears. Its the vapour that gets into each little kinks (=recoins) in the glass. Dissolving the grease and precipitate. See for yourself.
