Heh... my wife and I were out there too! We were lurking on the Isle of Dogs, just after the 17 mile marker. As you say, the weather was weird, alternating between icy breezes and bursts of burning hot sunshine. It was great to see at close quarters the masses of runners, including a few that we were there specifically to cheer on. It was also an eye-opener to witness in person the pace of the elite runners. On television, the foreshortening of the camera lens tends to make it seem that they're just jogging along gently, but I can assure you that they're shifting along at an incredible rate. I'd struggle to keep up with them even if I sprinted alongside them for a short distance.Been out to cheer on some London Marathon runners. Freezing out there, but maybe that was good running conditions. Amazing to see it in person rather than on the telly.

After that, we went down to the Brighton Twisted Market and afterparty. It was a busy day for us, but a satisfying one too.

Ah... not too far away, then!Ah, we passed like ships in the night then! We were at I think the 18 mile marker in Canary Wharf for a while. Popped over to Tower Gateway too.
Oh, yes! Once I was handed those and had inflated them, there was no way that they weren't going to get used as such. I think our vanilla friends were quite surprised when I suddenly set upon my wife with great gusto, and even a couple of police officers stationed nearby looked on in mild amusement. They made quite a good sound too (the spankers on my wife, not our 'nilla friends or the police officers) -- a comical boinging sound that would have been at home in a low-budget slapstick film.We liked the spankers... Or are they not called that?

Er, there was hail today. Hail. Not impressed.
Hahaha! Exhibitionist streak? Not even we dared do that with all the serious looking security types around. Good for you.

It's making occasional appearances.Hahaha! Exhibitionist streak?
It was all very relaxed where we were. The police officers were chatty and jokey amongst the good-natured crowd. They did threaten to arrest one woman who was trying to cross the road while the runners were in mid-flow, but that would have been the least of her problems if she had gone through with her mad intent.Not even we dared do that with all the serious looking security types around. Good for you.
Indeed. I've just sent a strongly-worded letter of complaint about that to the Dear x department. If I don't receive a satisfactory explanation, then I shall demand an independent public inquiry. *pouts*Er, there was hail today. Hail. Not impressed.
Oddly enough, there was huge hailstones dropping here about 40 minutes ago. Now there's clumps of ice all around.
So it practically snows in April after having summer conditions through winter.
Good job @Climate.
Just got back from dance class. After the class the teacher tells me that the routine we learnt today requires more grace than enthusiasm.
I wish he had mentioned that at the start of the class. I was aiming for enthusiasm
enthusiasm should never be quashed. in dance or any other subject.
Had some fun with rope at a private party this evening. My technique is improving! Encouragingly, my wife still has full function and feeling in all of her limbs.
When we left, our car was covered in snow. It was the slushy stuff -- not any hazard -- but C'MON SPRING! WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN US?

I have some rope-related photos to prove it! I won't post them publicly, though. Are you and Master at LAM on Sunday?Good news on the rope work then!
Hurrah! It's always great to see a cute pair.With reference to your Dear X post on the weather, I saw lambs today Really cute pair. I think I could even describe them as gamboling
