:: nee naw nee naw

We had a fire alarm at work tonight. First of all everyone ignores it, even thought it's deafeningly loud and shrill. Then finally, grumbling, everyone gets up and puts their coats on and plays follow-the-leader to the special fire alarm stairwell, which disgorges us on to the street by the garage doors. We're supposed to collect across the road outside Dynamic Earth, but no-one did.

It was cold and it was raining. We stood around for ten minutes moaning, waiting for the fire engines. They didn't turn up. Finally someone poked his head over a balcony and said it was ok to come back in. The alarm was still shrieking away as we pounded back up the special staircase.

That was the highlight of the evening, can you believe it? Very slow day. I got horribly wet on both morning and afternoon walks. I did some stuff on the computer (see pics below).

Er, that's it.
