Auick updqte

That should read "Quick update" but French keyboards are slightly different. So I've made it to France and will be home in under a week which is a little disappointing. Max has covered my 3 days in Peterborough so I'll add my 2 cents later (when I find a computer I can touch type on). So, I went to Edinburgh on Monday to see ISIHAC which was awesome and caught up with Tim after the show. He has changed his email address so did not receive my warning that I was going to be there which made for an interesting reaction :o) Rumour has it that another tour is being planned. Excellent. They will not be going to Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane this time though.
On Tuesday I went to France which ended up being much more of a hassle than I intended. The train which was to have got me back to London by 11 was cancelled and the next one was slower and delayed. The net result being that I missed the Eurostar I was aiming for and caught the next one an hour and a half later. This was delayed and had an unexplained stop in the middle of nowhere so we arrived in Paris 50 minutes late. Then the only ATM I could find at Gare du Nord was broken so it took me an hour to get some cash and navigate the Metro to Gare Montparnasse. The TGV to Le Mans was on time and Sabine met me at the station about 4 hours later than we had planned. Oh well, shit happens.
Today we did the castle (Brézé) and museum thing and nearly melted in the unseasonable heat. Still, beats being at work
