It started snowing again yesterday, causing chaos on the roads.

The bus came pretty much in time but took forever to got anywhere because cars were moving very slowly, especially as we got closer to the centre of Harburg.

Usually, going home looks something like this:
Haake19:52141
Harburger Ring20:08 
Harburger Ring20:11143
Am Frankenberg20:22 

But yesterday, it looked more like this:
Haake19:52141
Bf. Harburg20:38 
Bf. Harburg20:48148
Am Frankenberg21:20 

Good thing I took the bus one stop further to Harburg -- I usually change earlier since there are not as many people waiting at the bus stop Harburger Ring and I'm more likely to find a seat than when I get in at the train station. But the connecting bus I caught was one that starts in Harburg, which is probably why it left on time. There's no telling when the next bus in my direction would have come since the other lines come from elsewhere and were probably stuck in the traffic. So it took me an hour longer to get home!

And Stella was waiting at the window for me the whole time, since twenty past eight -- she thought I was going to be late since she saw that there was no bus at 20:20 but only twenty minutes later. But she still got worried when it started taking me that long. Well, I was glad I was home!

Whee!

Meike and Wolfgang were just here (at work) with their baby (a little Wiebke) -- not even two weeks old. Just showing her around. That was nice that they popped in to say hello to her co-workers.

Meike also inquired after Emily (my sister's baby) since she hadn't heard anything from (or about) Ireen -- I had neglected to tell her, bad me. So I told her that Emily had come on 18 December by Cæsarian section. Little Wiebke fortunately found the way on her own eventually, though Meike says she has a big bruise on her belly where the doctors pushed to try to get the child out. Everyone's doing fine.

They gave their regards to Stella, who'll probably be jealous she didn't get to see the baby :)

Just read about this in NTK (which showed up surprisingly early this week) -- how Opera can turn a web page into a slide show in full screen mode (F11) by the use of a special "presentation" media type in the stylesheet. Details at http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/operashow/ ; an example is at http://www.w3.org/Talks/2002/04/11-pemberton .

Nifty.
