I am a happy, contented and unworried rabbit: make a note in your diaries.

So there I was yesterday afternoon, wearing trousers and a sleeveless top, shouting and clapping and doing the Hokey Cokey with 200 people on top of Carlton Hill in the bright bright sunshine. I am very grateful to Zander for the factor 30 sunscreen which means that today my skin is only mildly dry in spite of being up there for four hours.

The walkthrough went well, with only a couple of obligatory snarls to sort out. It was really good to see everyone up there to do their bit and when the drummers first started I had a brief flash of tears thinking "wow, I'm part of this!" Yes, I think it's gonna be good.

And working backward on Saturday I had a whole bunch of people come to my flat to cut and paint and sew laces on tabards. Irene measured and ripped through cloth with very professional confidence and made us enough pieces for the hoods, most of which have now been put together (thanks be to Wundaweb).

All this and a happy Friday in with Jon, a Saturday night curry followed by K Jackson's, and a pleasant salad and stroll and chat with Pavlos yesterday. Am pleased.
