I was going to write something about the March for the Alternative, but I think Dizzy sums up my thinking:

“Today a small minority of people, many of whom pay little tax, will converge on London to demand more money earned by those not present be spent on them, with added call for more money we don’t have to be borrowed and spent on them.”

So instead I’ll look forward to a weekend of sport. Currently watching the F1 qualifying, recorded earlier this morning. Now in HD! And no Jonathan Legard! Gosh, how Auntie Beeb spoils us.

And looking forward to the Boat Race this afternoon. Kate grew up in Mortlake, near the end of the race, so I suppose it was her local sporting event. Watching the coverage gives a view of London that is very different from what we see in TV dramas, or from arriving by train at Kings X. Following the river gives us a slice of history and of the natural world through a very urban environment.

Oh, for a lie in! But Beth wakes early at the weekend. This morning she brought Kate breakfast in bed — a chewy bar and an apple — and then later brought me toast with Nutella and a glass of Ribena. How kind! Mind you, it was more her idea of breakfast than mine, and she was kind enough to eat most of it for me too.

We bought some seeds yesterday; carrots and spring onions. Beth and I will plant them in our vegetable patch later this morning, while Kate is out for her walk along Lade Braes.
