Arriveth the weather

Winter, it appears, has arrived in the capital. We had snow overnight, which while it arrived in microscopic amounts - it looks as though someone kicked over a big bag of flour, so I guess we must have had about an inch - it will be enough to bring the suburbs at least to a halt. I suspect that we will need a further and more sustained fall for it to have any effect on the centre but out this far it is quite pretty.

I await with baited breath to see how this manages to affect the underground system, but I'm sure it will somehow.

I shall take my camera with me to work today just in case.

A-tishoo, a-tishoo, we all fall down

I seem to have developed a cold. It has been slowly coming on since yesterday afternoon – or at least it has been noticeable since then. An ingenious blend of caffeine, nicotine, benylin cold and flu capsules and strepsils is keeping it partially suppressed, but I am prone to bouts of sneezing and coughing. Annoyingly I feel hot, too. Pah.

I blame the trip out to Swiss Cottage on Monday, myself. Not that the tubes are particularly healthy environments.

It turns out to have been a waste of time putting the camera in my pocket. The train arrived as I got to the station so there was no opportunity for a snap of Totteridge & Whetstone in all its frozen glory. The centre of town is, as expected, snow-free (there is the odd bit here and there on isolated areas of grass) and the weather forecast suggests that what snow we have had is it, at least for now, though the Midlands and Wales will get another flurry or two.

So goodbye winter, I hardly knew ye.

Exotic use of the keyboard

According to YouTube, this clip is the most viewed in Norway at the moment, so you know it must be good. Watch the bloke on the right of the screen who appears to be chucking paperclips or something at his colleague...

Haven't we all felt like that from time to time?
