From the outside looking in.

This was the little tree I bought from a garden centre a couple of weeks ago where there was a bit of a rush to buy one after seeing it on display in their grotto.

I knew I wouldn't be able to do it justice and I haven't. Getting close I've just about managed to get some of the sparkly colours but it's actually a gorgeous white and inside is a liquid with these sparkles moving around inside.

Such a shame that there isn't a video I can show.

I wasn't able to get onto the computer at all today as something happened with either my computer or my network connection. I phoned the broadband company and they said they were having problems but later when I phoned back I was told by someone else that they had a small problem earlier but they should have gone through everything with me to just make sure I had everything set up and connected right.

Anyway the result of speaking to the second man was a faster broadband connection and a lesson on how to change the configuration if I want to adjust the speed myself in future.
