St. Pancras

VIEW FROM OUR WINDOW
Despite having quite modest accommodations, this is our view. St. Pancras was built in the 1850's (see above). Today it hides a building site (notice the crane to the right of the tower). Common belief is that King's Cross is horrible and dodgy, but I think its fine. If this is dodgy--amazing architecture, history on our doorstep (but no drunks), people ringing our buzzer at three in the morning--then bring it on!
We got internet and cable hooked-up today. We immediately watched 'The Daily Show', but didn't laugh as much at that as we did at 'Have I Got News for You'. I can only assume that I've lost my North American sense of humour( jury is out on whether or not that is a good or bad thing).
(btw. We is John and I. I haven't become completely insular and insane due to lack of human contact)
