when i turned on the radio today, the first news i heard was about the eurostar trains being stuck, and in a panic i came running to check if patricia had logged on since yesterday. luckily she had sent me a message saying she'd arrived safely. ouf !

On the bright side, the meet-up was very nice and it was good to see everyone.

well patricia, i volunteer to distract you from your plight tomorrow. we can go and get drunk together and i'm sure we'll both forget all about the freezing weather and the cancelled trains.
oh, and according to my weather widget, it's currently -4°
and more snow is announced for the next 5 days.
