Snow and stuff

[mbernardi]

So Santa vs the Snowman was imax and 3D, then to the Embankment where I had a 12" meatball sub of the day, then on to the National Theatre, there was a jazz group playing he the foyer, (Anita Wardell Trio) then at 19:30 saw Nation (based on the Terry Pratchett book), despite having the cheapest seats, I sill had an excellent view.

Then, as may have been mentioned elsewhere, on Thursday night we had between 8-10cm of snow. Given the previous track record I expected all the trains would be canceled, however imagine my surprise to discover my train was only 7 minutes late arriving in London just over a half hour late.

Mum called to check I was coming over and when to expect me, and where to get me from.

Friday night froze the snow, so I was late getting to see my chiropractor. Then directly home. I had to get the train into Burgess Hill as the pavement going up the hill was icy. Even the short fairly flat walk was very slippery and I managed to fall to one knee, but no damage.

I've finally broken down and have started ordering books from amazon again.

Have you tried Bookdepository.com? I've ordered from them several times now and gotten 50% off new releases and free shipping to the US. Since they are on Guernsey I'd guess delivery to you would be much faster than to TN. I highly recommend them!

Remember, you can always look around on http://www.paperbackswap.com/ & have me get stuff shipped here for you. Use the book browser under "search." "Order this book" means it's available. You'd best act fast, however; it usually takes a couple of weeks for books to get here.
