    Me: Yes? What were you thinking about?

    Tom: I was thinking about when we saw Kraak en Smaak.

    Me: Well, we actually saw them in Middelburg, in the Abdijplein. But it isn’t far from Domburg.

    Tom: Yes, that’s right. [pause] Abdijplein is a funny word. It’s double Dutch! Abdijplein! Heeheehee! (pronounced perfectly: ab-dye-pline)

  • Agencia Estatal de Meteorología - AEMET. Gobierno de España
    Spanish equivalent of the Met Office. I couldn't get the English version of the site to work, but the Spanish version is simple enough for a non-linguist to navigate. Gives a more plausible forecast than Weather Underground which currently forecasts temperature fluctuations of 17 degrees Celsius within 24 hours for Cordoba.

  • Leysieffer - Home
    German chocolatiers. They make chocolate with Juniper berries - I recently picked some up in Dusseldorf. It is the closest thing to gin-flavoured chocolate you can imagine and is really rather good.

Contrary to the reports, some areas, particularly Folkestone, have received more than 15cm of snow. I stood in it and it was nearer 20cm and drifting.

    I was supposed to have gone to Dover today and on to the Netherlands for work. Normally it takes me about 1 hour 40 minutes to get to Dover. After an hour stuck on the M20 going nowhere at the Channel Tunnel exit, I managed to get off the motorway and turned back. My round trip took me six and a quarter hours.

    I can also recommend avoiding the B2063 Hospital Hill in Folkestone when it is like this. It is, um, interesting to descend when covered in thick snow and ice. The row of damaged and dented cars abandoned on the side of the road don’t give confidence.

  • The Horticultural Trades Association - HTA National Plant Show - 29 & 30 Jun 2010
    On my shopping list of events to attend in 2010. Still haven't decided what the impact will be on GLEE yet (one hopes, the final nail in the coffin - GLEE has been feeble for too long).

  • IFTF 2010 - International Floriculture Trade Fair 2010, Vijfhuizen, The Netherlands
    The second of two major new horticulture events in Europe this year. As it coincides with the FloraHolland Market (and is only 15km away), I may well attend.
