It’s election time. Time to make promises, shake hands, pay people to throng at your speeches and wave majestically. It is a time for many things. Perhaps even a totally irrelevant and irreverant post on something that came to mind (these kind of thoughts occur very often, but very few are ever published).

Some more photos from yesterday… including the latest in alternative transport!
I knew something was up when the road leading to Independence square was decorated with blue. Suspicions were confirmed when Pat came over and informed us that the roads were to be closed at 2.00pm because of a meeting.
The gentle caress of the sea breeze, the glint of sunlight upon dew-topped leaves in the morning, the cacophony of birds, the kaleidescope of colour in the flowers…
My favourite movies are generally on the lines of “Lion of the Desert” starring Anthony Quinn, “Patriot”, “Braveheart”, “The Lord of the Rings”, “Last Samurai” - you get the picture. Sweeping scenes of breathtaking scenery, cavalry charges, flag waving, suicidal warriors - the works.
