Once again Techcrunch reminds me why I continue to read their blog, despite the fact that there isn't one of them I'd like to have over for dinner, as my mother would've said. Google is rolling out a new security measure and although I haven't exactly got state secrets stored in my gmail account, I would be sad to lose this blog, so I'll probably use it. (Yes, Dr E, I can hear you snickering from across London. I have actually grown to enjoy this, I admit.)
Today was full of rain-verging-on-snow, cranky children, cranky adults, and cranky machines. This is going to be a very short post because it is after midnight and I have just sat down for the first time since 7am. I could swear that before I left for Afghanistan it was possible to pay for one's shopping by handing money to an actual person. Now, it seems, not so much. Maybe I'll tell you about it tomorrow.
For now, however, I will say that Lestrade has sent me a biscuit recipe of his mum's. It has only three ingredients and he claims even Sherlock and I can't mess it up, so at least I've got tomorrow sorted. Good night, everyone.

Oooh! Shortbread?
Hope you get a good rest, and that those biscuits turn out well! :D Show us the results.
PS: Here in Mexico we still shop by handing money to actual people, so if you'd like a break from cranky machines, you can come to Mexico and deal with cranky people instead. ;)
Oh, I hope you get a lot of rest. Good luck with the biscuits. I'm sure they'll turn out fine.
Here in New York, we still use the time honored tradition of handing over money to the cashier. However, I suspect we may never get those machine here. As a New Yorker, I can only imagine what kind of horrors may happen.
Anne - Italian shortbread, which apparently means olive oil instead of butter. Hmmm.
Lupe - I bet it's sunny in Mexico, too, isn't it? Sounds like heaven. I will have biscuits for you all shortly.
Book Geek - They actually did turn out well! I was shocked.
You know, I lived in New York for almost a year when I was much much younger. I do find it hard to picture the machines going over well there at all, heh.
