I had my annual appraisal yesterday. Now, we're fairly informal here, so there was a certain amount of off-topic chat. However, I do find it slightly disconcerting that my line manager was praising someone else's abilities. Even though said someone isn't even a member of our company.

So, _hypatia_, you're definitely liked over here.

Winter has come a little sooner than I expected

Two hours ago, it was a miserable, grey mid-November evening.

Now, we've got half an inch of snow already lying, and it's still coming down. I didn't see any sign of gritting, so the roads round Royston could be interesting tonight.
