Afternoon, Joe. Is the current situation disturbing your studies again?

I've been watching the temperature here crawling only slowly upwards,
after this morning's frost. It's still (16:15 hrs) only 3.8C. To my
mind, it'll be cooler this evening than the forecasters thought. I am in
"E Anglia" (well, for the TV regions purposes, anyway) so I'm anticipating
some wintry precip. tonight. :-)

I'm flying to Andorra (Arinsal) on Sunday for my very first winter
holiday - it would be just my luck to miss any action here, wouldn't it?
(And don't tell me to "break a leg" will you.)
