For some reason it was the books of Robert Harris.

Can't remember why and now I'm all embarrassed about it all.

I've recently read Archangel, The Ghost, The Fear Index and Fatherland. All well written and entertaining.

I mean to say, it's not like he's Jefferey bastard Archer, is it?

Boy was my face metaphorically red for a while there!

But now I'm back to pale and interesting. Literally.


Still not been to, or had a beverage from a Starbucks, though.

Nandos.


Had my first visit to one in Norwich a few weeks back. Didn't know the form so a colleague guided me through the self-help delights of multiple sauces and endless pop-refills. As an experience, I think I left it too late.




Good to see you HB.

Self checkouts at the supermarket, it's not hassle free and slower than a normal checkout along with the soulless experience half the items failed when scanning...


Shan't be doing that again anytime soon, especially as chatting to it like it was a real person got me loads of funny looks (apparently they have done nothing recently and plan to do nothing but work this weekend!)

    • Having a BBQ this weekend (wit no BBQ) and have a lot of guests expecting some sizzling food which may potentially not happen if there’s no way to sizzle.  Open to renting for the day, picking up returning (with a thorough clean) or alternatively if anyone is selling for cheap.
    • Its usually 1 to 2 %. Say it's 2% and a house sells for £1million, the agency takes £20,000. The induvial selling the house might be eligible for £2,000 commission from that.  If the gazunderer bring s the price down to £950,000, the agency takes £19,000 and the individual gets £1,900 commission.  In those circumstances they don't care if you lose £50,000. They are only out of pocket by £100.
    • Just to note (as someone who has regularly travelled across France by train from London) that SNCF and Eurostar are very good at sorting out situations when trains have been delayed. If an SNCF train is delayed, the conductor will invite people to get their tickets stamped if they have an onward Eurostar. I've been late to Eurostar on numerous occasions and they've just put me on the next service. Mostly they've already been aware of SNCF delays. Ditto when I told the TGV staff that my Eurostar was late, they just told me to board and they would help me find a seat. Delays are common and they have procedures in place to handle them in both directions. I've always been pleasantly surprised by how simple it's been.  Also, definitely agree with QueenMab re first class seats on the French TGV trains. They are spacious and relaxing and when my son was under 5, he could have his own ticket/seat for just 9 euros.
