Le pong
A day of quiet work at my desk. At lunchtime, having being worked quietly etc. for some time, came downstairs to a strong smell of gas. Hastily turned lights off and so on, and went outside... Where the smell was even worse. I tried phoning the gas emergency line, but there was no reply, or the line was engaged.
Lorraine called as I went outside and said that in a school playground in Ardingly, deep inland, she could smell it too. I walked into the street and the smell was everywhere. Turns out that a cloud of obnoxiously sulphurous gas had leaked from Rouen in France, slunk across the channel. Le pong, spread over several counties of Southern England, and was for a time very strong in Brighton. Enjoyed the Brighton Argus headline: Sacré bleurrgh! French leak causes stench in Sussex.
Walked into town to do a spot of Lego buying for Klaudia's birthday tomorrow. The Lego shop must be on one of the most attractive store designs I have seen, like Apple for kids. Bright, uncluttered, and beautifully designed.
