It's Snowing in Britain!

So naturally the country has ground to a halt.

Laura and I are staying indoors, away from the hysteria, marking exams and trying to recover from a mild dose of flu. I've had perhaps my unluckiest week in history:

• Monday - my first ever parking ticket, thanks to some very ambiguous signposting.
  
• Tuesday - wake up with a fever and a sore throat, my brain is so addled I turn up at my second lecture at the wrong time, spend rest of day in bed being furious with myself, but trying very hard to laugh about it.
  
• Wednesday - Try to hold extra lecture in what is normally a seminar slot (and seminars don't usually start until week 3). Turns out the department has put a student in my room doing an exam on the assumption I wouldn't be using it. Have to relocate everyone at last minute, and only 5 people show up anyway.
  

So you can see why staying at home, browsing the web for cool photography, is an attractive option right now.
