I was lecturing at the RSAMD this morning - having painstakingly put all my illustrations into a PowerPoint file, there wasn't any way of showing it and I had to settle for low-res projections of my backup printouts instead. Oh well. But the students were awake and on the whole ready to answer back, which was great. My favourite moment was when I dragged someone out to the front to stand beside me and said 'He's Beethoven, and I'm me. Which of us would you rather hear playing a Beethoven sonata?', to which the reply came 'You; he's deaf.'
