Coo! A lot to catch up on this morning.
Haven’t tried Rivers of London yet. Just finished ‘Seventy-Seven Clocks’ – I love large, clockwork ‘Devices of Doom’. Which part of London did you formerly abide in, if I may ask? I have a long-time friend who I used to go up to London with during our late teens and early twenties (mostly the B,M., the Marquee Club and the Wong Kei for eats back when the waiters really were that rude but it hadn’t become a gimmick), and she moved to Kilburn High Road after she married, then to Friern Barnet, and now lives in Chingford, so I spent a lot of time scooting around various bits of London not only as a tourist but also just ‘going where the locals go’.
Bad weather driving – I’m not going out at the moment so it’s kinda moot. If I do need to go out and the weather’s that bad then I suspect DH will elect to drive because he’d got a lot more ‘bad weather’ experience and now is not the time for me to get into an accident gaining more myself. 🙂
I think everyone knows my opinion of the shrieking Slam on the anchors ‘nanny alarm’ on my car which, according to the jolly picture that replaces all the actually useful information, is imminently about to explode like a Clown Car every time I a) drive under a bridge, or b) try to get it down the flippin’ drive.
