Derek and I took part in Earth Hour last night. The mad rush to light candles and the hunt for a fire source was interesting – and we realized that we need to buy matches and a lighter! Luckily I found a lonely match a few minutes before the magic hour and lit it using the stove – oh so classy!

The Weather Network had suggested that people send in photographs of what they did during the hour and I opted to try and photograph the furballs by candlelight. Violet was the only one who would co-operate. Doesn’t she look adorable? I haven’t submitted the photos yet, but it was a good idea!

Violet couldn’t resist the cinnamon smell of the candles, even though though the heat and light hurt her poor little eyes, she kept trying to get closer.
