Winter!

...well, snow. Heidelberg doesn't have the amounts reported by the Süddeutsche Zeitung: the traffic is not noticably affected. And no ice, of course, since all the water we have here flows to the Rhine, through the Neckar. But still, everything looks really nice and wintry, especially the mountainsides with bare trees.
The weather reports say it will disappear in a few days, as the cold will go back to Eastern Europe :(, but until that time, we can pretend we have winter here :).

Completely unrelated: the language school where I did a German course in September has asked me whether I'd be interested in teaching a beginner-level Dutch course. Which I'd be, of course, if I had time. However, I don't have time: I am very busy trying to keep/catch up with studying, rehearsing for the choir performance (this weekend in one week) and typing up lecture notes for QFT.
These few weeks there will probably be fewer posts than usual so far, since I will have less time to do interesting stuff, so less to write about, and less time to write.
