skyringWinter's on the way. I saw my breath for the first time yesterday, and here at 0520 in the morning it's decidely chilly. Almost enough to drive me back to bed. It'll be trackie-daks and bedsox when I get back. Just checked the weather forecast for London. The day before I arrive looks fine, the day I arrive is patchy and my first full day is April showers.
Temps are coolish. Nothing like Washington - I'll leave my leather jacket behind, but I'll bring a beanie, light jacket and my Barbour jumper. A cotton skivvy for the plane, looks awful but is very comfy and has an outside pocket for my glasses. In fact I look a total dag on a long flight. I dress for comfort, not style. Most of the London flight will be at night, as will the flight back across the Pacific.
Fort Worth weather looks very pleasant, insofar as I can work out this ridiculous Fahrenheit scale. Celsius makes so much more sense: 0 is freezing, 100 is boiling.
Visited Aldi yesterday - got my 512Mb memory card for the camera. Poked my nose into the thrift shop. Three Time-Life books in a series I'm trying to complete ($3.50 each, I'd feel a right goose if I'd bought them through the book a month sub at thirty or forty each). A five volume reprint set of Traveller - an old SF game I used to play way back.

Heather hugs

I'm getting a bit nervous at the impending trip. Will I have enough time to do everything I want? Enough money? Enough books?
But I guess I can't go too far wrong by being in the company of Bookcrossers.
