Not thermite

This was going to be a picture of the thermite reaction (lots of fire and sparks etc) but it turns out that taking a still from an iPad video doesn't produce enough resolution for blip, so you'll just have to imagine that!

ML and I have a birthday tradition and it involves her buying me a diary every year. This beautiful one is what I'm using to plan my summer trip and will be my journal once I'm there. 4 months and 3 days until I fly to Bangkok.
