I saw some interesting sights (in the Chinese sense) on my way in to work today.
First of all, I got snowed on on my way to Whitechapel tube station. I managed to catch a near perfect snowflake on my arm, which reminded me of being covered in them in Edmonton in December. The snow hasn't lasted though, and I now see sunny skies as I peer out of my office window.
Perhaps more worrying, though, was the sight of ambulances and police vans outside my flat this morning. It seems there had been a raid on several flats in the council block next door, and arrests were made related to 'drugs and asylum seekers' (by which I assume he meant illegal immigrants, since we don't lock up asylum seekers - yet).
Of course my thoughts quickly turned to possible middle east terrorists, but there are no reports that these were terrorist arrests.
So, and interesting start to the day!
