Day two of the new year draws to an end: bright but cold. Forecast for rest of month is very cold, which means that the Met Office’s mild winter forecast is wrong again \u2013 unless of course their January forecast is wrong. Tricky stuff, forecasting. Only left the house once today \u2013 to post a few thank-you letters written by my conscientious wife. Took it easy generally, but did manage to install Snow Leopard on my computer. My last Christmas present arrived \u2013 Emily Smith’s latest CD<\/a>. Haven’t heard all of it yet, but what I have heard sounds excellent.<\/p>\n

Yesterday two lots of visitors. At lunchtime (but not for lunch) my nephew Sam and his wife Lucy, who are in the process of buying a house in Southampton and are rightly upbeat about the new year. In the evening the Hendersons, with whom we dined at Cafe Uno on Tombland. Uno not at their best: the meal can best be described as ordinary and the service as poor, largely because they had too few staff. It was some time before we even got a menu. Suggestion to Cafe Uno: either have enough staff on, or close the restaurant for New Year’s Day. I know, it is tricky forecasting. Paul didn’t seem at all well, but we had a good time together, walking down through the Close and glancing briefly at the new cathedral hostry before ending the evening with coffee and a look at a few pictures on our Apple TV!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
