It really was a tragedy that could have been a global disaster. There is a piece of film of Soviet firemen clearing radioactive rubble off the roof with shovels, they were wearing leather aprons and had cloth face masks and only stayed on the roof for a couple of mins each. Non of them survived.

Not surprising.

It's not really the radiation that will kill you, per se (though excessive exposure will) but rather the radioactive gasses and dust that you will invariably inhale.

Did you get a good night's sleep? It all hinges on that.

I think I slept like a rock.

I had limited media information as I didn't have a television and the Herald Tribune version I could get didn't have good coverage.

Morning folk. I am drinking tea apparently we are out of coffee My bad I need to go shopping.

Diane your pictures look great. I like the Jefferson bokeh behind the blossoms.

Yes Deb, finally!!

Eli has baseball practice this evening and it is supposed to be well into the60's, I am looking forward to it! I think we are taking this bunch off to the duck pond after lunch.

It's predictably gross.
