The weather is a bit better in London now, still quite bad in other parts of the UK from what I saw on the TV news here.
The conference is actually quite interesting.A lot of focus on using technology in education (especially AI and also virtual reality) which is an area I know very little about,so it’s useful for me.
Anyway today is the last day, tomorrow I’ll fly back to Palermo.
It’s so snowy. It stopped snowing for now but it took a while to clean the driveway and my fingers fell off from the cold. Luckily they grew back.
Trains still seem to be a bit touch and go. I am glad I don’t have anywhere to be this weekend. Instead I will bake some lemon crinkle cookies. I had a lemon cookie yesterday and it was very disappointing.
Any favorite cookies?
How did the people who lived here 8000 years ago survive without hand moisturiser? The backs of my hands get dry immediately when it gets this cold.
Sometimes overcoats, suit jackets and blazers have breast pockets that close with a button [like this](https://i.imgur.com/m6rXJGZ.jpeg). There is a triangular flap that the button goes through. These are the world’s most difficult thing to operate, I swear. Due to where the pocket is located you can only really operate it with one hand, but the tab being so wide makes it incredibly difficult to work even for somebody like me who has long and bony fingers. Who came up with the stupid triangular flap?
I was on top of the tallest esker here yesterday and the weather was beautiful, I took [this photo](https://i.imgur.com/w9xplMt.jpeg) at 11:59. Look at how long the shadows from those islands are. They must be like ten times the length of the trees that cast them. At noon that’s pretty ridiculous. Sun really doesn’t get very high up.
