the election

the blog’s been running on auto for the last week. did you notice ? i had a hectic week work-wise last week, then jane and i went to belgium for the weekend on friday and got back late sunday. so i uploaded a week’s worth of the usual junk last tuesday.

one advantage of starting the marathon at the back was i got to see this fantastic view before i set off !
i was hoping this would be a panarama but it didn’t quite work properly. so have two bits instead.
