Planet Mad

It's GCSE mock exam week, and I had the pleasure of invigilating in the main school hall for a lesson today. Invigilation for internal exams is bearable because we're allowed to get on with other work - in this case, unsurprisingly, marking - but it was so bitterly cold that by the end of 50 minutes I'd turned into an ice-cube. To be fair, I'm not particularly cubic; perhaps I would be better described as an "ice-blob".

Either way, I'd like to be used to chill gin and tonic, but it had better be a big glass.
