Rather than go into nitty gritty details of what I did, I will try just to talk about general impressions, since I doubt the ins and outs are interesting to anyone, really.

Up early in the morning, I was struck by how few people were about, and by how dark it was. It wasn't overly cold, although it became cooler as the day went on. I was inundated by forms and, perhaps unsurprisingly, was unable to begin any real work today. That said, come the evening I was too tired for dinner, and crashed early.
