Better late than never, right? In a country where “London Underground minutes” are a time-keeping unit of their own and where our journeys are perpetually delayed on the M25, it’s only reasonable that Santa Claus would be held up in traffic. He came today, though, twice (via his helpers at the Royal Mail) with presents for me — some CDs from Aude and my shiny new Nikon lens from Germany.
