There's some sort of parade going on today. No idea why on earth they have decided to go on the street in front of our kitchen window making lots of noise. It's not for mother's day as mother's day in the UK was a month ago. (Not really sure about that on either..) They've gone past the flat twice now. The first time was much more amusing as they were actually playing music rather than just having the one guy bang on a drum to make sure nobody's headaches go away... :> They seem to have a very large number of parades here for no apparent reason.. Maybe Chris will know about this one.
