Happy New Year darlings. I have been trying to mine the chronology of events out of your out of order posts, and seem to have a fair idea from dec 19 to dec 22. a lot of thing seem to have happened on dec 23 and i cannot put them together. i do not know what happened after dec 23. i assume there is another post around the corner?
here is a link comparing the size of antarctica with the size of europe. interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Europe_antarctica_size.png
