Please don't play in the Roman baths



Bath was neat. Very pretty, gorgeous weather (I think England is skipping winter this year), good buns (Sally Lunn's buns that is, famous worldwide).

Last night, near 1 AM, when I was trying to finish a paper (2 deadlines in 1 day = utter cruelty), everything started to quake, but nothing fell down. Introducing . . . my first earthquake. It drew all the Americans out of their rooms and into the hall (Lea: England doesn't get earthquakes!) but all the Brits were sleeping. It wasn't really that exciting. Not even a spilled glass of water. Pretty lame for a natural disaster.

Cheers.
