The advantage to leaving for work before 7:00 in the morning: you can cross Byres Road whenever you feel like it, regardless of the direction that the light favours.
The disadvantage: I just said, “before 7:00 in the morning.”
The advantage to lecturing on a topic outside your area of expertise because a colleague has flown off to a conference: you can catch up on a fascinating subject much controverted in the scholarly literature.
The disadvantage: Not much time for mastering, or even noticing, the nuances of the controverted subject.
The advantage to walking three-quarters of a mile to work in a Glasgow downpour: Nope, no advantages to this one.
Lack of imaginative thinking here – you arrive with you hair newly rinsed by soft pure water … 😉
I don’t know I think walking in a downpour has the advantage of being good for the soul and making you appreciate the days when it is only drizzling.
how about “it’s not in florida.” I’d take that in a heartbeat!
But what a joy when you eventually feel dry and warm again afterwards ! x
