London Fog

dotintheskyA thick white fog (smog?) has descended upon London. We can't see anything from our windows (I took the day off and I'm at home).
You know what? I can't even see Canary Wharf's flashing skyscrapper lights. I can hear sirens though.
Edit: Argh! Could the fog have something to do with today being Friday 13th?

on 2006-10-13 02:49 pm (UTC)Isso me lembrou uma noite em Newcastle, quando estava sentada com uns amigos numa pracinha (eu estava esperando dar a hora pra ligar pro Brasil). Devia ser por volta de meia noite quando a gente começou a notar uma neblina absurda 'vindo' das ruas que desenbocavam nessa pracinha. A coisa foi tão forte que alguns segundos depois a gente não enxergava nem 10 metros na nossa frente. Foi do mal, haha.

on 2006-10-13 03:10 pm (UTC)Are you superstitious for Friday the 13th? I don't take any notice, but in Hk I adopted the fear of the 4th of April : /
Hope you're having a snuggly day off. Mmmmm Hot chocolate!

I went by the cupcake cafe today and they had 'Friday the 13th' iced in black on the cupcakes. I gobbled up some superstition with glee.

I didn't remember their superstition about the number four, though I do know they adore number 8. My dad is considered very "auspicious" by some of his friends because his birthday, 08/08, was once on 08/08/88. My mom was given the chance to number our farm when they "inaugurated" the road leading to it (named after my great-grandfather). And guess what number she gave it? 888. :-)
