Igitt!

A German word for "Yeuch" and a perfectly good word for describing the weather at the moment.  Down here it's all rain, but a little higher up in the hills you can find a little snow.

We ventured over the bridge to Mainz today and I ended up buying bookcases - hooray.  I say "hooray" as this means I can start buying books again.

Buying books must be one of the most under-rated joys.  I need somewhere like this though.  I like Second Hand books a lot.
