Okay, well, big protest march thing on Saturday. Lots of people, generally a good atmosphere with lots of drumming and whistling and amusing socialist factions. Strange silent march with no chanting or whatnot. Too many people for the actual march, I think there will have been many people in the Meadows who did not wait around all day to start marching.

I managed to meet up with my mum, aunt, uncles and cousin to shuffle around the city. Which was nice. I may put up a couple of pictures later if they are any good (not of anything interesting in any case).

Now some obligatory linkage. Newsnig8t has some good stuff. G8 Bloggers aggregates a bunch of G8 protest-related blogs. Lots of news on Indymedia.

Saw footage from the Faslane blockade on TV, looked nice and relaxed with plenty of drumming. Interested to see what will come of the rest of the week. Various not-overly-exiting things happening in Edinburgh today (supposedly clowns, hippies and anarchists). How long will blockades last around Gleneagles (my guess: they might get a couple set up, but nothing will last very long)? What will the autonomous golfing blocs get up to?
