The middle daughter has left a message in the visitor's book before GNERing to the big smoke: 'Almost too hot to sleep....just joking, freezing as usual!' So some people never warm up even in Deakin induced spring time. And it is nothing to do with being an effete southerner. She reports from East London that it is cold there as well. But that it will warm up when the heating is turned on. Heating! In London? We hardly had it on here during the relis visit so why switch on in London. Global warming is a myth.
It was, I admit, warmer in Ould Reekie than in Hutton. My plan to buy a Big Issue failed as the usual vendor was not at his normal station. However I found one discarded on the train and I was glad I had not parted with the small profit from my moral earnings. Somethings in life are worth 80p, but not, I think, the Big Issue.
