The precipitation forecast for tomorrow evening, which has been up and down like the proverbial, is now showing snow. May it remain so! It is also showing sleet at the end in typical English battle-of-the-fronts style, so if it snows early enough I may go out skiing before Borgen just in case, though this means pavements. I am enjoying Borgen very much, despite the subtitler’s apparent desire to get through the whole series translating all swearing as “For God’s sake”. When this is Scandinavian religious swearing, which is (a) stronger, and (b) doesn’t involve God, this is quite entertaining, but it does lack subtlety.

I see that Chris Huhne has been charged. Oh dearie me.

And much more than oh dearie me, I see that Pakistan’s first innings total of 99 was a cunning foreign plot to undermine the confidence of the English batsmen...

We have no snow here - again, another winter in which southern England gets more snow than southern Ontario. Very, very strange.

And yes, this has been a very strange series for the batting, hasn't it?

We haven't got it yet, but I hope it is coming...

One can never over-estimate the ability of the English batting to lose from a seemingly impregnable position.
