On the Plinth
I said earlier that yesterday, I ended up on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Sqaure.
Whilst I was on the plinth, I took about thirty minutes of video of what I saw around me.
This is the video. Or at least the edited version after taking out some of the most boring bits. There are still plenty of those there, so don’t watch it too often.
If you want to see the official one produced by One and Other, then click here.
How I got to be on the plinth is a complicated story. Let’s say that I came down to support Janet and ended up coming on as a substitute because someone had to cry off at the last minute. And you know how you have to scape the barrel to get anybody sensible at seven in the morning, as all sane and sensible people are in bed.
But it was all great fun and well worth doing. It’s probably not too late to go to their web site and register.

A-m-azing – what an adventure. I can’t see the video as it is too fast for my inadequate broadband, but well done. I shall dine out on your exploits!

Truth be told I didn’t apply. I suspect you won’t employ me as an editor on your next film.

I am making a few CD-Rom copies of this. I’ll send one up on the boat.

The next day would have been my 41st wedding anniversary. I laughed my way through it, as my late wife would have thought I was bonkers. But she always said she married me, because she knew life wouldn’t be boring!
