Gardening leave

No climbing this weekend, as my right elbow is very sore. Don't want to develop tendonitis at this stage so will take it easy for a while. Sarah's away in Southampton on a hen weekend. I expect nothing but carnage. Went for a medioker run, and spent the day pruning the trees in the garden which had grown a tad unruly. Woke up from the smell of burning rubber last night and went out to see that some scrote had torched the neighbour's vintage mini. It was parked next to my car, which is now covered in soot, but looks otherwise intact.

Shockingly, Robin Cook is reported to have died whilst walking in the Scottish hills. One of the most courageous UK politicians around, and his voice of reason will be sorely missed in the political landscape.

Oh, and England is actually in the lead after the first innings in the second Ashes test.
