We still have no news so we are still sitting around listening to BBC radio via the internet. The snow is a small consolation for my coming out here too early since if I had left it later I might well have become trapped in Heathrow for days. There is little chance that I would have made it to work since the B1004 is unlikely to be a priority for Hertfordshire County Council. It would have been lonely being stuck in the house with no dogs, just a pestering cat.
We can't travel too far, ever hopeful of the call to the hospital, so we restrict our visits to the outside world to nearby restaurants. Having had more than enough burgers we extended our diet to Chinese food and then yesterday to Cheesecake factory. One of the little differences and one I would like to change is the American habit of making starters absolutely enormous and bringing in the main course almost immediately afterwards. At least in the Cheesecake factory we had wised up to the fact that a single start would be more than enough for all of us but that
was more than cancelled out by the cheesecakes themselves.
It's 9am and now we are settling down to another day of waiting. The only decision to make is where to eat. Hopefully it will be the hospital canteen.
