(no subject)

I am safely in a comfortable flat in north London, with a packet of chocolate digestive biscuits and some decent tea. I have visited the Gower Street Waterstone's, which is probably my favorite bookstore in the world. I have taken a walk in the pouring rain and soaked my shoes. I have begun changing my time zone. Clearly, I am actually in London now. This is good.

Confidential to gramarye1971 and anyone else for whom it may not be too late: Do not click on the casting call for the Dark is Rising movie. It is likely to induce suicidal and homicidal thoughts and is otherwise hazardous to your mental health. I say this from painful experience. (I am not providing a link. If you do want to read it, I am sure you can find it without me putting temptation in your path.)
