Admiring the lantern-buildings outside the Pitt-Rivers, waiting for the procession to start. Soon now! Some flashlights kicking off already. #

And here's the cadet band - brassy and bright, drums and shakos! #

As we're wondering whether to head off away from the Castle - end of the procession - we spot flaming pois and firebreathers. Beautiful! #

• 10:01 A man leant against the wall of his house, on the phone, body rigid with amused embarassment, accidentally locked myself out, can you...?
• 10:05 Two boys on their way out for today, one suddenly turns and (with panache) bowls a tennis ball down the passage between the houses, howzat!
• 11:27 Yesterday we were (mostly avoiding) sharing conference space with a dental conference. There were bowls of sweets on all the trade stands.
• 18:21 Watching the winter lights lantern procession go by from hotel chocolat. Look! Say the children waving the lanterns, Hotel chcoclat!
• 18:29 Modern art oxford's yard is smaller than I expected, but has winter pimms, world music, and a man with a hacksaw taping together pan pipes.
• 18:50 Just walked past a wildly grinning camboy, camera strapped to his forehead like a cyclopean eye (or a cyclist with unusual head furniture
  ).

Now, that's a way to stop people from graffitting your patch of blank board - get someone else to do it first and more elegantly. I wasn't entirely sure at first whether the shapes were purposeful or not but the lovely lettering at the end made me think it was quasi-calligraphy-practice. Very nice anyway.
