The carnival is over is a great song

Apologies to the seekers

DESPITE the lack of posts I have been doing some work over the Bank Holiday!

At the office redecorating and brightening up the place up on Saturday morning, Sunday morning and Monday morning and answering a big in-box of correspondence each evening.

I'm in a foul mood this morning after two lacklustre performances from the Reds in three days. I made a rare away trip to Fleetwood (our nearest opponents) yesterday. The pies were good and the social club very welcoming - but the game was a nightmare. I already have the feeling it's going to be a long hard season.

It doesn't make one feel any better having to wade through this sort of drivel this morning.

Crowds celebrate annual carnival

Carnival brings people together

Carnival-goers display costumes

In Pictures: Carnival Monday!

One stabbing and 215 arrests is the price we have to pay in order to allow Afro-Caribbeans to celebrate THEIR culture in OUR capital city. "Ye Gods" as the late, great Ted Budden would have said.

Off to the office in my painting gear this morning and then back to update Nick and Andrew's websites this afternoon.
