That time of the year again when I sit in a small drab room for several days & experience what dentists must feel every day - in other words it's the IB Orals.

Today, given a series of interruptions, I have plenty of opportunities to watch the snow flakes swirl around in the wind and the gradual whitening of the world beyond the window.

A snow day tomorrow? Given the nasty conditions on the roads tonight & more snow likely during the night, it's not completely ruled out. However ...

(By the way, the Steve Reich Phases set arrived last week. So far I've only listened to the 18 musicians piece & there's plenty to enjoy despite the odd reservations).
