rain_gryphonIt's raining in Trafalgar Square, all lovely and half-lit with dawn. It's 7:30 there as I watch on a web-cam. I'm old enough that web-cams can still amaze me.

The army in Fiji has decided to postpone their coup so they can play rugby against the police. You couldn't make this stuff up.
