very odd

it feels cold. The thermomomomomomometer outside says it's -2˚ C. But there's *no frost*, so presumably it's very dry. And bloody cold, with a cold wind which, according to my weather gadget, is 16 kph from the North Eeast [sic], and taking the windchill to -7˚. Brrr.

however, on the upside, I have my Paul Buchanan tickets for 27th May. In *Glasgow*. Better go book some flights ...

bloody Easyjet

off to Glasgow in May, as per earlier message. Easyjet' s prices are cheap, but their site is horrible.

they don't clean the credit/debit card number, so if it has spaces in when you cut and paste it, it will silently drop the last three digits, then fail the authorisation. Then it tells you to back and correct it, but the javascript doesn't reload properly. Pah.

and *then*, it will charge a surcharge for credit card use, or a lesser one for debit card use; FFS - it's an *online payment* system. How else can we pay? That's just dishonest, and I hate it. And lets not touch on the airport tax - I bet it's not really a conveniently round tenner a person.

bastards. But still, Glasgow here we come :)

rather him than me ..

it's now reached the balmy heights of -1˚ out there - and the window cleaner is his ladder, doing his stuff - he must be *frozen*.

I offered him a hot drink, but he declined.
