Well, that was a slightly longer than usual gap between posts, wasn't it? I blame the weather - no, seriously. We've had massive electrical storms just about every night for the last few weeks. It's been insane. The central section of town got closed down today because of the hail drifts - yep, that's right, hail drifts blocked all the streets and car parks. The Uni, a bunch of schools and government departments had the day off - not mine, of course.

In two weeks today that I leave for Europe - this time in a fortnight I'll be sitting in plane flying to KL, if all goes according to plan. Plane tickets are booked, accommodation in France is sorted, britrail/eurostar passes paid for - after paying that much money, it's starting to feel sort of real. Wow.

Right, I'm going to take advantage of the continuing break in the storms to actually read my flist - since there isn't a hope in hell of me actually catching up, let me know if I've missed anything vitally important?

Me? Nothing vital, missed you though. I've done the drifts of hail thing, I'm, at least nominally, in tornado alley, and my dad is an insurance adjuster so wild weather is the norm for us.

Two weeks? Wow it's close! You will post mountains of pics when you get back and tell us all about it, right?

I've missed all of you guys too :)

The weirdest thing about this hail was the fact it it is (well, was) technically summer at the time. We do get insane storms in summer, but the fact that there was enough hail to last more than 5 minutes when it hit the ground it a novelty.

And yes, you'll get lots of picks and stories. In fact, I suspect you and everyone else will be begging me to shut up about it :)
