just move it

I'm amused by a letter to the Times today, in response to the Grosvenor Safety Group. Apparently, this GSG consists of about 100 people who think that they are being sacrificed as "collateral damage" because they live so close to the US Embassy, and the police and government should close off the local roads.

this letter to the Times (from M S Crawley) makes the succinct - and laudatory - suggestion that the Embassy should be relocated.

to the Dome.

good plan, I thought.

it's an omen

Pete and I have been discussing transport in the last week or so. I fancy getting a camper van type thing, and we are also considering bicycles.

the latter mode was discussed at length last night, and I pointed out that my knees may not be up to pedaling now.

and - with chilling timing - my right knee is more painful today that I can ever remember it being. Arse. And "sod it" to arthritis.
