Sounds lovely
I guess if you're missing it then you could always sit under a 100W desk lamp mixing orange juice and Tesco Value Table Wine.

Ha, you make me sound so cheap!
How mean. How're you, anyway?

Well, you were bemoaning the cost of Sangria in this country - I'm simply providing the "economy" suggestion
I am knackered. I've moved all but the last of my stuff into my new abode, and despite sleeping solidly for eight hours last night I think I could have turned over for another eight. And tonight I have to find a way to get a large and unwieldy bass amp up to a pub near London Bridge. I don't know how my floppy wrists will cope.

I can cope with paying out a few extra quid for sangria
what I particularly mind is that it's damp and fucking freezing. How's the new house?

Pretty good so far.
Area's not as tranquil, but I can at least walk to work now, and the view of Battersea power station from the front door is pretty cool.

'the view of Battersea power station from the front door is pretty cool'

I'm not that close to it
But I can see it looming above the other buildings in the distance. I've always found the building strangely fascinating*, though I suspect the novelty will wear off in a couple of weeks.

I seem to recall you telling me you've always lived in or near London
so you've probably never been cow tipping, but I have to say that that's what it reminds me of - an cow with it's legs in the air. Made of bricks, obviously.

I can see the similarity
Perhaps, to really put your analogy to the test and head up to Milton Keynes to tip the more famous bovine artifices for comparison.

Would involve going back to Milton Keynes, though...
