The internet feels smaller as we get older, I think. We end up bumping
into people we know in all sorts of places, but (and this is the
important bit) *we're no longer surprised when that happens*. I went

Right. Off to Glasgow on Monday, staying overnight. Not been there

camera for a walk round the city centre in the evening, if there's
time.
