    Blue sky,

    Sun is shining,

    Autumn leaves outside are an explosion of colour... bright yellows, light greens, and coppery reds,

    Birds are singing,

    Squirrels are fighting.

    ahhh...

      Morning

      What I like about Zurich winter. Dry, sun shining and a slight chill in the air.

      Train on time.

        Mild but slight rain, now brightening up in London

        3 mins late leaving but made up time

        33 mins 33 secs duration - again the counters in the Universe are falling into place - it is the rapture

        Sir Chris Hoy was the pulling loco

        Standing room only today - maybe an earlier train was cancelled managed to get a seat though

        Into St P on time

        Passing Kings Cross - they were giving out free Galaxy Ripple bars .... & I managed to pass 4 vendors

                We had that yesterday, but warm. Pullover off and windows wide open in the office.

                Grey and coolish today.

                  Plus fruit bowl and free water or iced tea.

                  Not in Zurich.

                    It's things like that that make me hesitate whenever I get a call from an agent about a job in Zurich. (which happens more often than you might think).

                      I remember paying something like CHF 8-9 for a coffee in Starbucks about 5 3 years ago, and thinking I could have bought 2 pints of beer for that in parts of the UK
