Winter has now arrived.

I'm not in a happy mood. The heating has completely packed up, as has the downstairs phone (taking the electronic address book with it - so, if I used to have your phone number, please mail it to me again!). It's cold outside. Everyone I know in Coventry is hibernating this week (or has decided to visit Bedford/Wales/Canada for a bit, to break the tedium).

I'm actually looking forward to Monday at work. This is not good.

On the plus side, the AAE London gig is next Saturday. And the Chameleons play Oxford next Friday. These are both good things - and good things that get me out of Cov for a bit, too.
