Still in bed and it's almost eleven. Stayed up late last night watching Jeremy Brett and co. in the Sign of Four. Jeremy Brett was by far the best Holmes.

Even cooler today, only 15 C at the moment and rain is threatened for later.

Having scones and clotted cream with an Americano in a curiously incongruous café. It's in what I suppose is meant by Scandinavian style, all light wood, plain white walls, comfortable but simple furniture. But the oddest thing is that it is in the ground floor of the H&F estate agent and financial management company.

The problem with the term Scandinavian style is that the various Scandinavian countries actually have noticeably different styles.

@ninalanyon I suppose the adjective is there merely to mean lots of (ply)wood and to sound foreign therefore trendy!
