First Blood
In the meantime, here’s a video from Five News, and Wikipedia’s explanation of my evening’s entertainment: Roller Derby

Autumn leaves when the grass is jewelled…
Recently I’ve had time off, done new and exciting things, done old and comforting things and had some other eventful days.
One thing though: I smelled autumn for the first time this year the other day. Do you know what I mean? That smell of crispness with falling leaves and smooshed up conkers? If not, keep your senses on the look out.
So, I bring you this cute and comforting cartoon from my ever-favourite cartoonist, at explodingdog.com

Gordon’s Garden
Rach, Tom and Wilb over at City Bumpkin have alerted me to the fact that Gordon Brown has a Flickr page for his garden. I wonder if Gordon has Gnomes in his Garden.
There is also a generic No 10 Flickr page.
