I was glued to the laptop all day as Jeff had sent through a whole bunch of new photographs for checking out and placing. This lot was from the Sikorski Museum in London - the Polish Museum. There was some very useful stuff but now I don't know whether to go there myself or not.
J eventually dragged me over to the ethnic fair over in Queen's Square. Sorry no photos again as the camera was left behind. (J went back to get some shots, so see her blog). There were all sorts of immigrant and refugee groups represented but the Poles were the most colourful, with a couple of Zimbabweans second. There were more hippies here than at the Vegan fair, perhaps because there was, sensibly, no cover charge. Or perhaps it was because of all the new age bloody quacks practising hands off healing, Indian head massage (the same as any other massage but done by Indians), and Gong resonance therapy. Gong therapy? What the hell is that supposed to do? I think he's been using his head to ring it. Can you tell that I was less than impressed by this? The music was OK though.
J was unhappy about the time I spend on the laptop, which is fair enough. Her revenge is to publish a dopey photo on her blog. At least I'm not afraid to show my legs. 8-)

Perry - Russell reminded us about your blog so thought I should chip in and let you know how we are going without our left-half mainstay.
A bit mixed you could say - on the 10th June we went down 3-1 to Albany, played awful, Robbie went off in a huff after exchanging words with Harold, Russell had a head-clash in their circle and while on the ground copped a ball in the back of the head from Dave (!!) However we got our own back on the 17th, having played Albany on the sand 2 weeks running, winning 5-4. They had a goal that should have been disallowed plus a stroke which was ok but luckily for us Mike Sealy scored a hat-trick ! Robbie back, knowing he had maybe overstepped the mark.
2 or 3 weeks off now and not sure if the U15 teams are still playing so see how we go. Seem to make a habit of winning when Murray is away, he had minor heart surgery a few weeks back (stents inserted and seems to have done the trick).
Anyway, hockey ok, weather really mixed with rain and frosts biting.
Looks like work a bit mixed for you to date, hope something settled appears on the near horizon.
Cheers Phil
