Janvier

Repeated from last year:

"The shortest day has passed, and whatever nastiness of weather we may look forward to in January and February, at least we notice that the days are getting longer. Minute by minute they lengthen out. It takes some weeks before we become aware of the change. It is imperceptible even as the growth of a child, as you watch it day by day, until the moment comes when with a start of delighted surprise we realise that we can stay out of doors in a twilight lasting for another quarter of a precious hour."
              - Vita Sackville West

I've been in a bit of a January slump, infected with a cough, torpor, and anxiety about two college assignments due in at the same time. But we've had time to check out the Winter Gardens in Regents Park (followed by a vegeburger from the ever-cheery vegeburger guy at Stables market), do a Friday night at the Pembury (I preferred it when it was less popular, but I suppose pubs don't survive on half-emptiness), have a look at the new (Georgian) Clissold House and cafe, and - erk - visit Ikea.

Edmonton gasholder:



The longest month of the year is half gone; I'm trying not to anticipate the Spring.
