And here I am, with the air conditioning running, watching the Tucson late-night news, tired and a bit sore but basically in good shape. I have told the computer it's back on Arizona time, but LJ doesn't seem to have quite cottoned on yet.

Utter, jet-lagged randomness

In Denmark I encountered something labelled as 'Persian Earl Grey Tea', which was black tea with jasmine. It was rather pleasant, reminiscent of the jasmine tea in Chinese restaurants, but Google wots not of it.

Does anyone ever check actually their bag against the claim tag? As opposed to, oh, reading the label to be sure it has their name on, if the bag has no other distinguishing features?

By the same token, I've never noticed a rush to the carriage doors when the announcer on the (British) train exhorts people to go and read the safety notices there. (And indeed, such a rush would probably be in contravention of advice to keep luggage with you and out of the aisle.) If they actually wanted the notices to be read, they'd do better putting them where people could see them from their seats.

Denmark has double-decker trains.

What day is it again?

I updated the Flickr set of Sheffield photos with the last batch.

Other than that, I've been sleeping. As soon as I've downed a couple of cups of liquids, I shall go and sleep some more. There are times when I can halfway function the day after a westward transatlantic trip, but this has not been one of them.
