My hands are blue...

Definitely blue. Mostly on the fingertips where the dye from the document folder I was using to shield my head came off on my hands.

Why didn't I use my umbrella? Because that's up in my office. Which I can't get into. Because there was some sort of chemical spill today and the whole building got evacuated.

I only had the folder because I was using that to cut down the rain getting on the stuff that I was taking to the tutorial I had to give this afternoon (in a different building), which a grand total of 2 students attended. It's not even as if they've had me as a tutor before!

In any case, after the tutorial I wandered back to see if the building was still sealed (it was, though a couple of doors needed telling) told security about the recalcitrant doors, wondered what to do next (my shorts etc. for badminton being with said umbrella) and decided to go home until badminton time. So I squidged through the car park to my car, staining my hands blue (with a brief lift from a colleague at the last) and I am now sitting in the warm, listening to the rain and contemplating actually having dinner before badminton.
