Today I have not been outside. I have been busy setting up this blog (as a new and exciting thesis avoidance tactic). Therefore what I have seen today has mostly been the now rather dusty bunting and drooping union jacks lit by a greyish light trying to get in through windows that have not been cleaned since I moved here. This vision has inspired me to call a cleaner. I also have a clear line of sight towards a box of chocolates (also Union Jack themed) which, since the Olympics are over, may have to be finished. More interesting observations to follow in future I hope…
