Snow, Darwin, Wallace & Gromit and Insect eating

Today Exeter was in blizzard conditions. Obviously, with such an event work was impossible and not really an option.

Went to a lecture on Darwin (its his 200th Birthday) which was very informative. The lecturer, Timothy Clack in particular spoke of the eating of insects. Apparently we ingest a kilo a year! Crazy. He then went and sent samples out in the audience for an impromptu buffet. Now I will eat anything once, and so supped with glee on Giant Grasshoppers, Silkworms, Dung Beetles (pizza flavoured), Ants (curry flavoured) and Locust. It wasn't bad, and I second helpings of ants. Needed a glass of water afterwards though. Also, at the Phoenix they have an exhibition of animation, with Wallace and Gromit in residence! What a day! Snow, insects and plasticine!
