All of the Remembrance ceremonies are on television today even though the day itself (obviously) is not for a few days. I missed them as I's had about 3 hours of sleep before getting up for work at 5:30 yesterday (I hate it when I can't put a book down), running back home for a nosh and taking my bass to the Spa for a STUPIDLY LONG rehearsal, ( Read more... )
