March towards summer

Hello there, today is supposed to be relax Saturday due to plenty of gin and tonics at bossa last night but have just realized that there's a huge amounts of birthday presents to buy, gardens to be sorted and jaunty hats to be worn (okay maybe not the last one) anyway one last, probably very looonng week to go before the end of term then two weeks off only spoilt by having not actual money still it will be interesting to see what I can get up to for no money at all.
The other week T.O.H, T.O.H's brother and I headed to to London village to attend a small march in response to the government deciding that really we dont really need services like decent education, fire services, a quality health service, pensions and the like. and what a brilliant day it was too, I was joined by my sister as we marched through London with I beleive close to half a million people. Of course out of these half a million people about 100 caused property damage which is (I dont do maths good) I believe was less than 1 percent, of course the media decided that this small amount of property damage was far more important than all the other people marching and their cause so decided to focus on that instead; so much so that if you watch most footage of the violent protesters you can see rows and rows of photographers and the news that night had (out of an hour) had 45 minutes dedicated to the violent and 4 minutes on the rest of the protest with the odd advert thrown in. Now I understand why the news has to report on such events but why not more about the thousands and thousands of peaceful protesters? Anyway Ive got to go and start my day pottering doesnt start itself you know.

oh and on a different note does spotify now have far more adverts than usual? its now following every song.
