Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Stuck in the service department today. Free coffee and WiFi does not mitigate against the mind-numbing boredom. Every 10 minutes are punctuated by reassurances that they are just about done and the car will be ready. Finally after 6 hours this became true.  Even the Daily Mail becomes readable in time.

"Quiet desperation is the English Way"

Thanks, Alan. How is self-sufficiency in Wales? Glad to see you are getting through so many books (if that is a good sign?). 13 and a half months to go to parole! Just about to start "How To Teach Quantum Physics To Your Dog". Hope it is a good read. Already booked up for The Ring Cycle at Covent Garden next autumn. A must see, except I am unsure how Bryn T. will manage in the role of Wotan, but I suppose some risk makes it more interesting. Glad you sold the house eventually .Simon

Hi Simon,

It is good having the time to read anything other than work-related papers. The 13 months will fly by and I can assure you that you won't miss anything other than the camaraderie.
