Sad day today.
Back in Dorset for the funeral of a family friend - despite being 81 he was still an active member of the local sailing club and so the flags were flying at half-mast.

Falkland House is just up the road from my office and I walk past it most days on my way to and from work, yet today was the first day I've noticed a flag flying outside.  I'm hoping that it's simply because the flag flying is a one-off to celebrate the 28th anniversary of the Argentine surrender in the Falklands War and not because I'm terribly unobservant...
