Here's what is going on in BradWorld:
Today is the Summer Bank Holiday. Yes that is a real thing. I have the day off, but markets are open everywhere else in the world, so www.bloomberg.com/tv will be on in the background all day.
Summer is pretty much over here. Days are rapidly getting shorter and the highs for the day are in the low 60s for the next few days. That's 19 for those of you worldly enough to use the metric system (better men than me).
The Notting Hill Carnival is going on yesterday and today. It's kind of like Mardi Gras in New Orleans, but in London and with less nudity (apparently). What it definitely does is bring many of the less desirable citizens of London into my quiet little neighborhood. Fortunately, there are policemen every 50 yards or so, but that doesn't entirely stop some vandalism and general mischief. I took a rain check on the festivites this year.
I'll spend most of today reading One Good Trade (book), The Economist, and The WSJ plus the usual blogs and such. BUT, I'll do it from my couch in sweatpants! Also, lots of paleo-friendly cooking (learned poached eggs this morning) and probably a nap or three.
I also managed to watch yet another terrible movie: Date Night (Steve Carrell and Tina Fey). I love bad movies and this was terrrrrrrible.I'm on a bad streak right now after In Bruges.
Further proof that cricket is a terrible, terrible excuse for a national pastime (and that Pakistan just can't catch a break): Pakistan threw their match against England and got caught via an undercover investigation.
