Life in Dulwich

London Underground has started playing classical music in stations - apparently to calm frazzled commuters' nerves and dissuade youths from hanging around in gaggles playing tinny rap music loudly on their mobile phones. The only problem is, the classical music that I heard in Vauxhall Station recently was not of the soothing Mozart/Bach ilk, but more of the disturbed chords veering from massive crescendi to straining to hear diminuendi Wagnerian ilk which is not all that soothing and a little bit disturbing.

There was a large (read 'overweight') teenager playing tinny music on her mobile yesterday behind me on the bus. I keep meaning to download some nice screeching soprano or something onto my phone and turn it on whenever that happens, but keep forgetting.

We had snow yesterday again. It came, everything ground to a halt, and then it went.
