Marianna stayed at my mum's most of this week, which was nice but a bit weird - it was like being young, free and single again for a few days. Well, except for being old and still having Anthony underfoot, but you know. :)
Work was fairly quiet again, and Wednesday was just depressing. We had our first Labour branch meeting in ages, what with all the endless election campaigns, and today we went to the Pontnewydd Remembrance Parade. We were marching again this year, and I laid a wreath as the Deputy Mayor - I always panic a bit about laying wreaths, it's like all previous occasions where I've done it completely leave my mind and I imagine I'm going to trip over and destroy the entire display something!
There was a really good turnout today though, and Harald (Thomas of Holy Trinity Church - I think pretty much everyone in Cwmbran knows Harald) gave a lovely service talking about the poppy as a symbol of peace, and the importance of rememberance as an aid to preventing future war, not glorifying it.

I posted a guide to Saturday Blog Linkies, and the theme for this week's #FridayFrivolity was crazy health advice. This week's Twitter competition is for The Wizard of Oz on DVD:
