London in flower. Always arrive too late for daffodils, though there might still be some in the north. Pass this wisteria on our way down to the high road and Jenny also has a lovely one in her front garden.
Kilburn High Road bustling today. Temperature about twenty and Saturday shoppers everywhere. We’re renewing acquaintance with the road and picking up a few things - oatcakes, streaky bacon.
Election day in Canada tomorrow. First time not to have voted but too difficult to get a ballot and return it in time, Did have them couriered to Larnaca in the South of Cyprus for the January 2006 election but both courier and postal services somewhat simpler there. Just as easy to follow news almost anywhere in the world, though, barring the inconvenience of time zone changes. Which reminds us of the “olden days” when Canadian election results were blacked out for regions where the polls had not yet closed, so you could not see results in time zones to the east of you before the polls closed in your region. The system didn’t survive the coming of the internet for long.
But we’re prepped. We’ve watched the This Hour has 22 Minutes Election Special.
