Hallo, from Sunny South Coast with 30second long snow showers!. Our 'doom and gloom' newspapers were saying how bad it was going to be (gone back to princess diana stories today?). Followed the new york shutdown on late night radio, sounded like fun(?). Ice on garden ponds never more than 2mm thick, could do with some real cold to kill the bugs. Had trip up town last week, another next. Rebuilding railway stations so its a bit awkward at times, come to that think rebuilding whole of london!. At least got to 'Ginger Pig' and spent fortune, freezer heaving a bit. Got weakness for Smoked Toulouse Sausage and Cumbrian Faggots (no not those). Otherwise, hiding in shed making boats, giving grade six organ lessons (for free, must be slipping), and creating meals from bottom of freezer, and not looking at the dates. Oh yeah, and trying to restring and tune something with 47 strings, Drum
