I’d planned to do a run today, but conditions conspired against me. It was very cold overnight. When I got up and took Scully out for her morning toilet, I checked my weather app an it was about 7°C, but the “fells like” temperature was -0.4°C! I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that “feels like” as a negative number before. It certainly did feel very cold.
The morning was clear while I was teaching my set of online classes. But by the time I finished at 1pm, the rain had moved in, and it was solid and at times heavy. I don’t mind running in the rain, or when it’s chilly, but combined it’s a bit too much. It would just be too freezing.
Instead I used the time to go over the lecture notes for next week’s Image Processing lecture at the university, which I’ll be giving while the lecturer is away. Today’s lecture was on pattern recognition and image features, leading into next week’s introduction to machine learning for image processing. I know the subject fairly well and it shouldn’t be difficult to give that lecture, but I wanted to check in case I had any questions about particular slides or topics that I wanted to ask the lecturer before next week.
I had to brave the rain to go into the city for tonight’s lecture. And it was very cold again. But I survived to tell the tale!
