African Surreal-ness

[oloriel]

This night I dreamt of someone coming into the English institute asking for help on his research on the etymology of the name "Cthulhu", and how they would have pronounced it in Middle English.
(Don't ask me. I have NO idea. I don't even want to know what it means.)

Then I wake up and there's a veldfire outside (far enough away, no danger for us, don't panic): The sky's dark with smoke, it's raining soot and ash (but sloooowly, not the way it does in Pompeii documentaries), and the sun, shining through the clouds/smoke, is a bloody red. It looks like the Eye of Sauron, or something.

I thought it's winter, I assume veldfire involve a field on fire....0_o

This entire entry reads rather surreal.

It isn't winter on the Southern hemisphere ;)

A veldfire is like a forest fire, only without the forest, instead in the "open field". It's one of those wonky Afrikaans-English words they have here.
