Cut 12

balcony sunshine

It is, of course, Pride day today. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this means a lot less to me than it did back in the day. The weather is perfect for it, at least. I will probably wander past it in some fleeting fashion -- Matthew is meant to be doing it properly with his Brightonian dyke sister, so I may tag along with them -- but I have to be in Kensington Gardens for 3. A good excuse for missing out on the more 'festive' bits. Not that I have anything against festivity per se, but...

Have been intrigued by the picture.

May be a sign of my own age (44) - did not go on the march, but flitted between bars on Compton St with lagers purchased from Sainsburys (friend is a student on a fixed income). Met some people from a long way back, but was glad to get home (and in bed by midnight).

I recently attended a seminar type thing at Cumberland Lodge. They do a good lunch!
