Yes, I know. I haven't posted this week. Why? Well, it snowed, didn't it? And if the tube doesn't work in the snow, and if planes can't take off from Heathrow, and traffic on the M25 comes to a halt, then I am unable to post. More precisely, it was so very cold that I didn't want to move off my very comfy sofa and post. I also had a horrific cold on Monday - Thursday. It was only bad on Monday and Thursday; Tuesday and Wednesday I just survived on Lemsip. But Monday and Thursday were truly dreadful. I knocked myself out with honey, lemon, whisky and hot water in order to sleep. Luckily, the worst came, and then was over by Thursday evening, since I had an all-nighter at work, followed by an early morning finish on Friday night / Saturday morning. So that snow? Even London is quiet in the snow. You know how the countryside becomes so very still in the snow? Well, even the same is true of London. The view from the Wharf over the City, all white and covered in snow flurries, was beautiful.
