Relatively cold...

If I weren't so brainless I could have brought you a shot from a gloriously sunny morning at the tennis club. Sadly I took my camera with me but neglected to put the CF card back in it.

The weather this afternoon has been decidedly less pleasant and at one point we were even treated to a flurry of snow. This was of course nothing compared to the harrowingly awful conditions endured by both the Grande Armee and the pursuing Russians during Napoleon's retreat from Moscow. I'd thoroughly recommend this book, although some of the later chapters are not for those of a sensitive nature.
