    Another thing I'm enjoying about having moved is no Glastonbury. :) Even when you like the music its no fun when its audible in a ghostly way only and the bed shakes to the beat. My mother had a miserable friday in particular and she's got terrible hearing. Its amazing how far the noise travels huge the impact of the noise is really.

    I don't. Its funny how many clients don't recognise ''their'' barrister with out a wig on. Besides anything else, its a minor security measure, this considered.

    But if it matters to you if you need representation get a solicitor advocate :)

    I agree, in criminal law in particular, that's a good thing.

    I also feel more barrister, less female, when chatting to violent men in cells.

    My youngest started work experience today, in central London.

    Age 17, went off in a suit with a map and travel instructions in his pocket. One train and one tube and a 5 minute walk. Not very difficult.

    I just got an email from the company to say that he had arrived safely. :grin:

    my favourite weather, summer storms. Had a couple of good ones recently. It feels so good after the heat and they are so beautiful. :) We're only forecast rain here, hope it instead is a proper storm!:j

    It was fantastic doing the garden yesterday, hot sun and rain moistened soil, a marriage made in heaven :)

    That's like gardening over here. Digging when it's 42C isn't much fun I can tell you from experience! Strawberries straight of the bushlet in that sort of weather is great though.

    Wish me luck, I've backed Kubot in the tennis for $60 at 1000-1. If that comes in I'll be having a very jolly holiday.

    Mrs. Wheezy decided she wanted to go shopping in peacocks in Woking yesterday. No way I'm gonna spend a sunny afternoon in a shopping centre filled with sweaty noisy people.
    So I dropped her off, came home to watch F1 (boring race) and picked her up afterwards.
    Spent the rest of the day in the garden doing absolutely nothing. Was supposed to drive a couple of loads of rubble to the skip, but too hot for that. Next week. Maybe.
