Thanks for the concern, but I'm still here... just a bit busy settling
in. I haven't even been to London yet (and I wouldn't have taken that
overcrowded commuter train anyway --- that would have meant me getting
up before 7 am). Currently I think I'm more at risk from driving back
from the pub after lunch, on the wrong side of the road.

Like the last <e> in my surname. "Mathieson" is the name of a scottish
clan, and no doubt they are upstanding people all, but as a Dane I
must insist on -sen.
BTW, you fellows had better read up on the pronunciation guide for my
name that I sent out a month or two ago. There _will_ be a test.
(In case anyone is wondering, I'm keeping my subscription to the list
at this address. Nostalgia, mostly).
