My Mum still can't quite get her head round the geography of London. She just rang me to say "Are you ok? There was a tornado in London! I thought you might be in it." The difference between a 6th floor office in Central London and a residential street in North West London eludes her, bless her.

As does some of the more technological elements of modern day life. Apologies to those of you who have heard this before, but I thought it needed recording for posterity. I was speaking to my Mum about Christmas presents a while ago and mentioned that I wouldn't mind a Motorola Bluetooth Headset to go with my new phone. She said that was fine and would sort it out. A few days later, she rang me to say that the woman in the mobile shop hadn't heard of them - was I sure they existed? It turns out she had actually asked for a Hello Moto Tooth Set. I made her write it down for next time.

In other news, it's nearly Christmas - have you noticed? I'll be sending out some Christmas cards next week. If you would like one and I don't have your address, leave a comment. Sponsored plus LJ doesn't do polls (grr!) so comments are screened for this purpose.
