having fled the country ...




well, don't worry, I'll be back.  I'm in the UK for a very quick blast of research and to see family/friends, but I'd (almost) forgotten how cold and grey London is in November.  Here's my view for the evening - tomorrow I hop on a northbound train early in the morning.

I had to head to an Apple Store in Covent Garden, since I needed a new cable with which to recharge my Apple Watch (I thought that recharging it just before I left the house yesterday would be a suitable prompt to pick it up and pack it, but evidently no ...) - and yes, the Christmas Decorations are already up ... er, festive.  Festive does not describe my state of mind as I flew out: it'll be a week of discussing with completely incredulous British people how 53% or so of voting Americans could possibly vote for That Man (even the Lettuce was chosen internally, not by the country). 

It was, of course, fun wandering round... and now, I hope that I'll sleep.
