A mundane day and the despicable rioting

A working day on the computer, interrupted by a consultation with MS Lockyer of the Currency Exchange with regards to arranging suitable safe money for travel on an impending trip to Egypt.

At the end of the day, a short Skype call by another author trying to format his text for Kindle. The call extended as the apparently simple task proved ever more difficult – for trivial reasons. I played on with the book later whist watching television until finding a suitable solution after a couple of hours.

In the news, the lumbering giant of justice was finally gaining speed as Magistrate courts in London and elsewhere began to haul the offenders in. 805 arrests have been made in London alone. Three deaths of people trying to protect property by a hit and run driver have added a very serious note to the days events.

The sickening site of “assistance” being offered to an injured Malaysian student, which turned into blatant casual robbery, has made one YouTube video go viral as the scene is spread through Facebook to winkle out the culprits.

The streets of UK cities are calmer tonight, perhaps in part by the onset of wet weather as much as policing.
