A Titan Effort

Grrrr just drove into work (Southwark) to pick up my beloved Alfie and other voluminous geek textbooks and it was by far the most tedious and nerve-wrangling part of the journey.
It's been strange being back in London. Everything is so familiar, but I feel like an outsider now, being on the better side of the College line. It makes me nervous being here - especially commuting and just standing on Oxford street getting dizzy watching all the busy busy people. I can feel my muscles tensing up again.
Aside from that, as soon as we got off the ferry and entered the island of drizzle and misery, I felt like a hearty autumnal soup. I've been cooking for Claire for the last few days, and whipped up a big batch of butternut squash soup. Now I'm stuffed full of wintery food, and can last on the Spanish stuff until summer. Funny thing trying to get into Sainsbury's car park though - swearingly realised a bit late that I in order to get a ticket in and out, I had to hand-break, scuffle over the passenger seat and make a big mess of getting the ticket, fumbling back to my seat and driving in. It made me laugh though.
