All things considered, I'd rather be in Amsterdam

The good things about being back home:

1. Room to swing a rather large cat
2. A shower that works well
3. A duvet -- and a toasty hot water bottle

The bad things:

1. No maid service, meaning no milk in the flat, meaning no tea this morning
2. Waking up at 7.15 to the sound of driving rain against the bedroom window
3. Having to cycle to work, rather than jumping on the 390 bus

Thank goodness for supermarkets and waterproof rain pants.
