Minus Seven!

Well that's it - I'm fed up of weather like a dwarf-less Snow White pantomime; so assuming Manchester airport's open (and the M62 is clear) it's scuba-diving for two weeks in the Maldives and hoping that this strange white stuff has all gone by January 20th.

Steeling myself against the weather....

Contextualising workshops to suit the subject area of the participants isn't easy, but fortunately one of today's Research and Scholarly Activity workshops was with engineers, and the other was in an area I've worked very closely with in the past: Art/Design/Media.

This in some ways made up for today's sessions clashing with my friends and ex-colleagues' christmas dinner in Loughborough, but has now been more offset by only having to drive home from Sheffield in a very surprising amount of snow.

Can't remember the last time so much fell in such a short space of time, or when it fell this side of the New Year, but at least that's my travelling done for three weeks so it'll be "working from home" and golf until early January.
