No cirques please, we're British!

This week has been a good week. I have spent a fair amount of it staring at maps, measuring maps and then collating data on cirques. For those who have not had the misfortune of being around me this week and do not know what a cirque is, a cirque is a small glacier, or rather a hole left by one, perched on the side and at the head of valleys. They also form the main part of my summative project this term.

SNOOOOOOOOW! Yes although it has been patchy, we have still been snowed on this week-which is very exciting. Perhaps at this point i should share my analogy which got me strange looks last week. Every morning i think about the day ahead as a field of untouched snow. Perfectly flat and covered, undisturbed. And everyday I run, dance prance and generally fall across the field. An then at the end of the day, i look back across the field, and there is a massive trail of mess and destruction behind me! But as long as I don't make too much of a mess, and provided i do get to the other side of the field, then that's ok! lol.

DO you really imagine that every morning? I think it's a wonderful way of looking at each day. And do you ever feel like you don't make it to the other side of the field?
