Good luck to all of us who have to take planes!

I'm taking a train on Wednesday, I hope it won't be (too) late...

I think at Schiphol, Amsterdam, some planes are taking off again. Not so dramatic as Londen, but then they have more snow in England then we have. But here life's coming to a standstill; the snow is really bothering the traffic.

Hope for the best for your mother.

'Grace Elliot has an amazing gift for writing. Her descriptions, her story progression, just the way she paints the pictures is absolutely beautiful. It is a delightful experience reading.'

The description sounds interesting! I downloaded the sample to find out, and will certainly buy it if I like it.

Playing around with some features on Goodreads I've never explored before. They've got a stats feature that tells you how many pages you've read and according to that I've read 42966 pages in 2010.

Obviously that's just an estimated number since their page counts are often off the mark or the edition I've read has more/less pages. Still interesting though!

sitting in a coffw shop at the airport and wondering how to spend the night. I might actually go somewhere and get some sleep. weather doesn't look bad at the moment, just 14 more hours of luck and i'll be home

Waiting for my Oberon iPad cover to arrive. UPS has never been this late! it's nearly 7PM. Must be the Christmas rush.

Christmas. Humbug!

I'm waiting by the door while typing this on my iPad. This little bugger is pretty good at one-handed typing.

The UPS website says out for delivery, and it should arrive by 7 or "sometimes later." It's now 7:14. Hmmmm.

kennyc · 12-20-2010, 07:14 PM

Well at least you have heat.

Enjoy! I still have a few days until my vacation, but I'm off until the 10th.

Yeah, there's that. Good thing, too. My poor iPad is naked!

I am thinking of going to a leader bounder to make a cover for my lbook. It will probably cost more, but then it *will* be unique. I guess I will have to ask when/if I arrive in Sofia.
good news is, 3g internet is finally working and the 24h internet flatrate is a wonderful thing. it costs less than the coffee I am drinking now...
btw London looks bad. heathrow flight is annulled, the one to gatwick won't fly either.
I am starting to read now. veracity. first stop - the dictionary, to find out what the title means.
then part two of the hogfather is on the line.
after that it will probably be dinkfast.
they are just starting to bake the fresh bread now.... it smells soooo good!
leaving mobile phone on the table now!
