Long live drug dealers and murderers. And horses of course.

I'm feeling much more upbeat this morning. Maybe it's due to spending the evening with some old friends last night who are barristers (it's always interesting to get a different perspective on life); maybe it's because the sun is shining in London; or maybe it's because I'm off to Bordeaux for a few days to jump some horses. Probably a combination of all three.

Last night was especially fun because one of my old friends had had an excellent result in a 3 month trial that finished yesterday. He was rather full of himself and therefore great to be with. As he was sipping his champagne my wife called. I explained to her the festive mood we were in. In an effort to understand the situation she asked if we were really celebrating the fact that my friend Dominic had managed to keep a drug dealing murderer on the streets rather than putting him somewhere safe for 12 years. When you look at it like that I suppose......
