Sunday 17/04/05

Started the day by watching the London Marathon. Weather down there is bright and sunny, in contrast to the miserably wet conditions here. One of the athletes in the women’s race had a call of nature, which she couldn’t ignore: she knelt down to pee in full view of the spectators, 6 million TV viewers in the UK and a handful more all over the world. When you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go. Found I left my mapcase somewhere on the hills, so had a spot of bother writing up the notes for Saturday.
