After a long tiring day.....

I have had a surfeit of travel this week. I dread to think what my carbon footprint would be if I calculated it. Anyway the last day of train travel was today for a couple of weeks, and boy, was I glad to get home.

When I have had a week like this, I like nothing better than to come home, make myself a nice bowl of carbonara, and then slip into a warm, rose scented bath where I like to soak for a while with some soothing music and a nice glass of rioja.

Then I like to wrap myself in warm, white fluffy towels, with another glass of wine, and read a chapter of a good book. Sometimes I have so little energy I like to read a chapter of a book I have read several times before....

Then comforted, satiated and in a gentle haze of fuzziness, I like to cuddle the cat, lying on the sofa, and watch really crap telly. Tonight the epitome of crap TV is on - the BBCs annual Children in Need fundraising extravaganza. It really does have painful moments, but for sheer amazing amusement, I do secretly enjoy watching newsreaders making fools of themselves.....

Have you seen the ZeroFootprint carbon offset project? http://zerofootprint.myshopify.com/

I think you can only calculate flights and car rides at the moment (train travel isn't so common back home), but then it gives you the option of offsetting your CO2 emissions by donating to their re-forestation project out in BC. At £8 per 1 tonne of emissions, its actually quite reasonable.
