I don't think a great deal happened today. Did it? Anyone? Nah. Ah well. M**** gave birth (via induction), but apart from that . . . nope. M****'s asked me to remove the falsehoods from this entry. I don't think I have.
What am I on about? Loads of stuff happened today (erm . . . kind of). It was Paul's (from work) birthday, so we all went to Bar Home for a drink or two. Before that, I had to go to Leeds train station to get some money from the cash point. And, yeah . . . ain't no crime going on in there, as there's at least four armed police officers standing by. Fingers near the trigger, but not actually on the trigger. Probably with the safety on as well, although I didn't look that closely. So, yeah . . . Loads of weird stuff was going on over in Hyde Park, just off Woodsley Road, near the mosque. They kept saying Burley or Burley District in the media, but it is soooooo Hyde Park. Didn't really affect things over here, barely half a mile away. Later on, I'm on my door-step, sipping my gin and tonic, reading the Metro, and I have my first ever conversation with my neighbour, Trevor. How weird's that? We were mainly going on about the, erm . . . heightened security situation and the stuff over in Woodsley Road. blah blah blah. Hey, we should have a bet: how many crazy, Draconian, democracy-crushing laws will now be passed unopposed through the Commons in order to 'tackle terrorism'? I said this to M****, kind of half-joking.
