Early morning aurora

We had a rather disturbed night. Mr hazelh and I were both a bit hyper after the excitement of seeing the Northern Lights so close to our house late yesterday evening. Added to this, I couldn't settle because of coughing fits in bed. For quite some time, I lay there wondering whether I should seek sanctuary in the study and leave Mr hazelh to sleep in peace. 

Eventually I decided to set up the sofa bed in the study. This was just as Mr hazelh took it upon himself to check the aurora app again. He saw another recent peak in activity so dressed and headed back outside into the cold and dark. When he returned, he reported that the lights weren't any better than a couple of hours earlier. Even so, they were still impressive. He took the photograph that I have blipped at 01:40 this morning.

I'm blipping early because I very much doubt that I'll snap a better shot than this today, not least because I probably won't be going very far. Normally I would be at the gym this morning, but I opted to stay at home after my disturbed night. 

The most that I hope to achieve today is to put away my summer clothes, get out my winter garb, pile up any garments to go to the charity shop, and put the rest into the wardrobe and cupboard space freed by storing the summer clothes elsewhere in big IKEA bags.

Anticipated exercise today: none.
