Well, my trip to tropical climes has been postponed (or possibly cancelled) due to this issue:

http://chronicle.com/forums/index.php/topic,64335.msg1419738.html#msg1419738

So although I am still fitting in the quick trip to Amsterdam that was going to be at the end of this visit, it's cold, cold, and more wet, all the way till Spring I fear.

It was actually warm (for November) and sunny here today. Quite delicious until the sun set!

Of course, it's currently getting warmer at 11pm, which can only mean that the wet stuff is heading back again . . .

Where did all this warm stuff come from? I'm not at all used to being in Oxford in November and not needing three layers of clothes plus two layers of waterproofs!

I just saw the notices about the floods in Cambria, I hope if anyone is in that area they are OK.

You know it's bad when you put your iPhone in a zip lock bag before venturing out!

When I want to take my dog swimming, I usually throw tennis balls into the lake -- not iphones enclosed in ziplock bags to keep them from sinking...  :)

Not sure about Cambria, but I have heard a rumour that there are at least some university halls of residence affected in Cumbria.

Just the one. And two of its sites are not in Cumbria.
