I'm writing this post from the Eurostar, en route to Brussels. We cleared the Channel Tunnel about fifteen minutes ago, and are passing through the French countryside. At least, I think we are. I can't really tell because it's pitch black outside, and it's only 6:10pm.
British Summer Time ended a few weeks ago, and the difference in temperature and sunlight was quite surprising. When I usually leave work at 5:30pm it is totally dark and quite cold, a big change from the week before when daylight saving was in effect. Today, I walked from work to Waterloo Station just before 4pm, and noticed that the sun had started setting well before then!
I tried to submit this post using a wi-fi hotspot at Lille station. Sadly, no open hotspot. Of course, I could use a bluetooth connection from my PDA to my mobile, using the phone's GPRS to connect to the internet, but O2 have thoughtfully disabled my global roaming and data services. Will my telco troubles ever cease?
