Freedom! Peace and quiet! Muhahahaha!

Just thought I'd let ya'll know

(....and no.....the au-pair doesn't come into the equation....before anyone asks

)

The title of this book, After the Ice: A Global Human History 20,000-5000 BC , I thought that the last ice age didn't end until about 12,000 years ago. Surely it was still cold, cold, cold 20,000 years ago.

It was. "Soon after 20 000BC global warming began. Initially this was rather slow and uneven.....by 15 000BC the great ice sheets had begun to melt....."
Apparently 20 000BC is known as the last glacial maximum (LGM), after which things started to get warmer.
Good book, I recommend it

Well wife and kids are home again and it's really nice

...though I must say the past three days on my own have been very nice. Mostly I have stuck to the Atkins diet (sausages) and been drinking beer

. Lots of Taichi and CoD and of course my post count has gone through the roof

It's been great but I prefer it when they are here. *mutters*...must be mad
