Earthquake in England, snow in New England

So not only am I woken up by an earthquake http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7266136.stm
but I have to listen to reports of record snowfall in New England on the BBC World Service as I try to get back to sleep. Looks like dreaming of skiing is as close as I'll get this season.

Not long now

Not much more than a month to go before I leave the comapny I have worked for since leaving school and that's over 32 years. I thought it would be tougher to get used to than it is but as the weeks pass and I explore what to do next I am looking forward with more excitement than apprehension.

We'll see if that is still the case at the end of March.
