Sunday Blithering

[liadnan]

God it's cold in London. Mind you, was cold in Winchester too, but there was a big log fire there. Half of me is wishing I'd booked this week out as well, the other half is thinking I really need to bill every penny I can right now. In any event, a couple of months ago, when a trial set down for a day against a LoonyLitigant in Person unsurprisingly went over, and the judge asked me for dates to avoid for the return, I really didn't imagine I needed to state that I'd rather not be in court the day before Christmas Eve. Foolish, foolish. The mills of the law grind exceedingly small. Or something.

I'm supposed to be writing up some tedious minutes (juniormost tenants always get the fun jobs) but Miss Marple is on, and while I'm not convinced Agatha Christie would really recognise it, it's highly entertaining. Intrigiung speculations about her losing a man in WWI (I don't think that has any canonical foundation). Stephen Tomkinson a more convincing dumb inspector than Jack Davenport, incidentally.

don't you have heating in your flat? :)

Next time, you should come to Greece for Christmas. The weather is nicer - well, it's still cold but we have something like 12 degrees now.

Will Miss Marple be on in January? I'm intrigued now.

Have a heart. It doesn't open for public hearings until 10 (I know of almost no court that does. In the High Court it's 10.30. Though there's an emergency judge on duty al the time). That doesn't actually mean no one is working.

have a what? I've got a stone, will that do?
All I know is we were unable to drop something off there before ten. Cuh. Some of us have been at work from 8.30 (not me).
