Actually, from here, it is. The swedes have been gleefully sniggering at the Uk's creaking infrastructure this week. Although I think they were a bit shocked by the pictures last night - they thought we'd collapsed under 1 inch of snow like usual. There was a bit more slack given today!
No snow here, but it was about minus 8 with about 10 degrees of windchill last night ( so I stayed in!!). Warmed up to minus 2 today! So I ventured over to the gym for a bit of a session. set me up nicely for some food.
Had a really good weekend, 2 good nights out withthe swedish guys from work - neither of which was "too" messy. its all good.
Finished off my book, The Foreign Correspondent by Alan Furst; it was beautifully written, and had a tense, interesting plot - I was really enjoying it.... then it stopped. I could kind of see why they finished it where they did, but it did feel like it really lacked a decent ending. Books like that frustrate me, I like a bit more of a wow factor at the end. Oh well - onto the next one..its an American thriller called Run... don;t think its going to be short on action.
couple more days before I head back home again, hoping the UK weather doesn't cause any flight disruptions.
cheers,
AG

Hi Andy -
ReplyDeleteYou've surfaced on my Google alert for "Meltdown" and "Martin Baker". Just to say I'm delighted you enjoyed the book. I'm wrestling with a filmscript (see www.martinfdbaker.com - what it doesn't say id I've been through FIVE versions in development already). The sequel to Meltdown is written, and will be poublished in July or September. Again, I'm very pleased you liked Meltdown - and keep reading!
PS The shots of the debris you left behind are truly hilarious - and eerily familiar.
Best,
Martin Baker
Erm, apologies for infantile typos above, etc
