Bank Holiday

Today is a bank holiday in the United Kingdom, and effectively is a ritual day - for doing nothing. 
















Above:  the expected rain ("it always rains on bank holidays") is a comforting reminder of the need to do nothing.  It's not even possible to spend time in the garden.  Roses in the rain is something of a cliche.















Above:  nothing to do after lunch except read the newspapers.  Interesting article by Tim Horton in the Guardian.  Interesting article by Josephine Moulds in the Business section of the Daily Telegraph about Kraft's arrogant and contemptuous CEO Irene Rosenfeld (when are the Kraft shareholders going to realise that this woman is a PR disaster?).















Above:  at hundreds of village fetes across the country the rain sends everyone running indoors, but the Teddy Bear's picnic still goes ahead to the delight of the children.
