A warm, sunny and rather blustery day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well. We did have rain overnight, albeit not that much. I shall probably have to go and water stuff later. Spent the morning doing some kitcheny stuff, mainly food prep for later, as well as straining the fish stock that I left to cool in the fridge overnight.

Lovely luncheon of salt & pepper baguette, hummus, Langres cheese, fruit (satsuma, mango, watermelon) and a

Now watching the Le Mans 24 hours on Quest. That coverage ends in about 10 mins, so I shall decamp downstairs and switch to Radio Le Mans.

I had the full race viewing paid for, and I've just found out it's not available. I need to upgrade to see it. They took my money for it, they'll be returning it tomorrow.

Have sneaked into Yorkshire, The guards were sleeping at their posts. Too much tea I reckon. Have set up a base camp with the usual defences.

Maybe they let you in. Get you on the way out, making you take a roundabout way out!

Just made myself a nice big "reuseable coffee cup" thing full of tea.

I was out protesting.
With many others.

Serious question, about what/who?

If you don't want to answer just say so. I'm losing track of who's protesting about what over here. You're in a larger country.

It is "No Kings Day", since everything has to be about Trump.

Hope it passed peacefully, and trouble-free, for you.

Lots of ''No Kings'' demonstrations today. Though directed at the current pretender.

Just a few folks turned out.

BBC is reporting that the crowd at the DC parade is far smaller than anticipated @Gravity Aided , with lots of empty stands. That too, speaks volumes.

It is kind of sad, though, because it was supposed to be about the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, not a birthday salute.

It's a pity that one celebration, 250th anniversary, was hijacked.

Reminds me of the parades in Red Square.

This crowd was very polite, as usual in the Midwest. My vantage point was atop the steps of the Olde Scottish Rite Consistory, now the center for the Performing Arts. Press pass did not mean a whole lot here, a very hang loose crowd

My father, GRHS, Army Veteran in WWII, would be ashamed of me if I did not get out and do something about what is going on here.
