Thanks.

Not much. My girlfriend is in bed with some kind of virus. That means internet and shortwave for me, I would imagine.

Is there anything yellow in the room that you're in?

Good question. A yellowish glow from a candle, but thats about it. Does sun light count as yellow?

Several cacti and 'living stones'/lithops by the kitchen window, and one thing that was a present from my girlfriend's workplace.
