Odds and ends

I have been meaning to post this amazing factoid: all the candy machines in London Underground stations seem to have been decommissioned, and are (I presume) awaiting removal. One less source of temptation for me.

Our friend T.H. arrived from Singapore this morning. The plane got here at 4 am but had to circle Heathrow for a while because none of the ground staff were at work yet.

    Take care. Hugs…
