Different strokes

Andy’s back. He did go down Les Esserts after all, but his
(British) instructor also took him through a housing estate,
apparently.

I can’t touch my toes any more, but it’s generic stiffening rather than
up-seizing.

Mikey joins us; we watch Weakest Link on BBC Prime, then La Cible
on TV5, a French game show with no British equivalent. (I include this
information only to make Andy Shire tut.)

Chef, Mikey and Andy then disappear to Big Ben and its pool tables.
Chris, Melanie and I read (I’m now on The
Future of Ideas, by Larry
Lessig).

On BBC World we notice Bush’s “strategic” (ie blatant election-year
blather) announcements about returning to the Moon and sending people
to Mars.
