The weather has to be pretty bad to keep us inside. Today it was pretty bad. We went into Oxford on the rib-smacking rollercoaster [aka the local bus service] and had lunch with Sarah at a pancake place http://www.dailyinfo.co.uk/food/rest/Chez%20Gaston.htm near her college. It is a great place to eat, really good spinnach pancakes. It was good to see Sarah again, but after that we were straight back to the warmth of mother's house.
