4 days to go

Rain, rain, rain. Hopefully by this evening when I'll get to go out it'll have stopped.

As you can see, my brother Ivan (who's running with me, as he puts it, to call the ambulance when needed) now has his costume sorted. At least on the day we'll be noticeable.

Of course, there's a small fan to keep the horse inflated which, with a fully charged set of batteries, operates for about 2 hours. So we'll have the odd spectacle of a battery change at least twice, and that raises the question of where to carry the spares.
