The Green Green Grass of Home

It's a bank holiday weekend, so that traditionally means that it is pretty much guaranteed to rain and be at least ten degrees cooler than it was last weekend. Inspired by deKay's posting of Advanced Lawnmower Simulator as his game of the week, I dodged the showers after work and unleashed hell (aka the flymo) on the lawn (aka the jungle) and it now looks half way respectable. Or at least green. Or something.

In politics news, we had a leaflet through the door from the English Democrats (or 'I can't believe it's not the BNP') with the usual frothing at the mouth about all of those wily foreigners coming over here and taking all the jobs. The delicious irony is that the candidate turns out to have spent most of his life working for the oil industry in West Africa and France. That makes him a ... gasp! ... economic migrant! Oh noes! He should deport himself immediately.

In other politics news, I am currently listening to the Guardian Tech Weekly election podcast and the Lib Dem spokesman is called Lord Razzle - one can only hope that he will be made minister in charge of cheap porn ... :-)

Anyhoo, I hereby declare this bank holiday weekend ... open!
