Stuff and things ...

It's been a fairly quiet couple of days here in Dizzo-land; like stir_of_echoes, Mr D and I spent yesterday evening warching the final episode of the fantastic Chernobyl series.

Most of us of a certain vintage remember the Chernobyl disaster, and the series was a perfect example of good, sympathetic, compelling high-quality storytelling that remained pretty faithful to the truth (so far as everyone knew it, given the soviet secrecy of the time!)

Also last night, (on a more cheerful note), I got into a Whatsapp conversation with a few Jus in Bello buddies, and because we are spread all over Europe, we ended up having a photo-sharing conversation about how dark it was at that point in time where we were, this was about 10.15 yesterday night.  This was the view from outside my front door at about 10.15 last night - I thought the sky was such a beautiful colour!



How does this compare with 10 pm (ish) where you are at the moment??

In Ohio we are five hours behind you - so it's 5.30 PM and the sun is merrily shining away!!

Well, when it's 10 pm (ish) in Austria, it's pitch black outside! With 2 hours ahead GMT, it's getting darker way faster than over at yours, Jane!

I feel like I should watch Chernobyl as being of that vintage I do remember it all and everyone says how good it is, but it's just too depressing and more so because it's real. I like my bad stuff from fantasy! It's lovely having the light nights but still a bit too nippy for June - both the month and the person!

Around 10pm it is really dark. :o

That really is a lovely colour, and you weren't the only one watching Chernobyl. It was a fantastic if grim piece of work and it brought home to me just how close we all were to disaster. As you know me quite well, I bet you won't be surprised to know I sobbed almost constantly during episode 4.

Danm you menopause! It would've been bad enough normally, but now the hormone fairly is sprinkling her fairy dust all over the place I can cry at a bloody commercial, so on reflection this might not have been the show to watch! It was bloody good though.

When it's 10 p.m. in Germany it's black, just black ... but yesterday we had full moon and it was great (besides Mr. Wolfi's full-moon-mood, LOL).
