Distraction

Fiddling about to avoid thinking about how to get to where I need to be at noon tomorrow.

I'm going to our poetry tutor's book launch at a private library in the city centre

but, I won't be alone.

The English Defence League is holding 'an event'.
Unite Against Facism is staging a counter-protest.
Nottingham Forest are playing Leicester City at home.
The Mercian Regiment, recently returned from Afghanistan is parading; the Lord Mayor will receive the salute.
It's nearly Christmas, shop, shop, shoppers.

The statue of Robin Hood has been encased in a shed.

Can I have a shed too please?
