Cor blimy, what a scorcha
Managed to get myself up late after all my travelling from Brussels last night, and stagger into town for lunch. I was very pleased to discover that there are some advantages to being slightly more equatorward - it’s been really sunny and warm today, so much so that I was reduced to eating an ice lolly!
I sat on Jesus Green and read some more of Quicksilver, which I started reading on the train to Brussels. Although I adored Neal Stephenson’s previous book, Cryptonomicon, I’d struggled to start the giant volume that is Quicksilver, not having the mental will power. Still, having got started I’m getting into it. As an added bonus, bits of it are set in the place where I was reading this afternoon :)
