Tinnies and Dragons



Today marked a double celebration - although we didn't take part in either. It was Australia Day and also the Chinese New Year so "g'day" and "gong xi fa cai". The Chinese are celebrating the beginning of the Year of the Ox with dragons and dances whilst the Aussies will be downing plenty of Fosters around the barbie.
Here in a cold miserable grey England, I hoisted the Australian flag on our pole and then set off for Dorking - driving across country along the A31 instead of joining the mayhem on the M3 as described on the car radio. Not a particular exciting day today - several meetings and a swift lunch of soup and roll. The day really did pass quickly. Back home to make a fire and write this blog whilst watching another forensic science crime documentary. An early night as I have a long drive tomorrow to the tip of Kent (Broadstairs) to attend a Coroner's Inquest.
