First the main news: Ian found out today that he got his MSc, with distinction. Needless to say, he's delighted. I think this will also give him more confidence in pursuing his business proposition.

In other news: Last Thursday (Ian's birthday) he and I climbed to the top of Brat (or Bray or Bra, depending on the source you consult) Tor on the edge of Dartmoor. It's a rocky outcrop about 450 feet above sea level. It was a clear day, not too cold, and the view was magnificient. Perhaps the best thing about it was that there was a pub down at the bottom, on the main road. A gastro pub, serving fancier food than you would expect. The food was delicious - best squash soup I've ever tasted.

And now the weather: It's been cold the last few days. Not Canadian cold, but about -5, with frost staying on the ground. Unusual this early in the winter. But at least it's been sunny.

And lastly, the sport: OK, I lied. There's no sport. Not on this station.
