It seems to me that blogging is about as useful a way of passing the time as tossing pebbles into the sea, so for what it's worth - and that's not a lot - here are a few pebbles.

An English tradition
Today is a bank holiday in England. It's known as the May Day bank holiday even though it is held on the first Monday in May regardless of whether or not that day is also the 1st May, May Day proper. Mind you, in Oxford they still celebrate the proper May Day. Yesterday it was estimated that the crowd on Magdalene Bridge to watch the dawn numbered as many as 25,000 people! Meanwhile the choir of Magdalene College sang Hymnus Eucharisticus from the top of the tower.
And in keeping with another tradition, the weather today is wet (ish), dank and drear.
