Things: update

I blogged earlier today about the threat of St David's Day passing me by unless I could find a daffodil in London. Indeed, I was happy to go on the record as saying "you can't get a daffodil in London for love nor money".
I was wrong. I got one for money.
Conclusion: it's a good thing that the Imperial College has a putative Welsh society.

Further update: things which have passed me on the Fulham Road this evening.

• Former Conservative Party leader Micheal Howard.

I don't think he was thinking what I was thinking as in response to the large grin which I failed to mask across my face he looked, frankly, startled. It was pretty dark this evening. This is the only time I have ever seen him. There was something of the night about him.
