We turned off the light

An Italian friend on Facebook "ha spento la luce", I see, and so did Chris and I and our neighbours in Cathcart Mews this evening. In honour of Earth Hour we kept our house dark from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. and went out for a walk onto Parliament Hill where it was also relatively dark and where we had to watch our footing on the steps. The stray cats and raccoons of the Hill were on the prowl, not minding the lack of illumination at all, as well as a few people making a gesture with tea lights on lollipop sticks. Whether any of this has made a difference remains to be seen.
