The Door to Hell, as locals call it, is situated near the small town of Darvaz in Uzbekistan. Thirty-five years ago, geologists were drilling for gas when then encountered a very large cavern underground filled with a poisonous gas. They ignited the gas expecting it to burn off in a few hours. Thirty-five years later, the gas is still burning. more amazing internet stuff. :)

hello, i went to zapata's in melbourne street last night for dinner. it was really nice. one of my workmates loves mexican so we went just for her. delish. got home really late and actually slept in this morning till 9. had coffee and cake afterwards. we sat outside with one of those heater thingies. bit cold. cafe was crowded. feel ok this morning.

not seeing the kids this w/end coz they are still sick and i'm going to hospital soon. don't want to catch what they've got but i miss them. i'll ring them later to say hello.

need to tidy house. went into the garden for a bit to tidy. need to mow lawn.

other than that not much happening this w/end. it's nice to have no plans. i got a thai cookbook so might make something later. enjoy your weekend.
