Well, we got Colin to London, it was hard work, but the attention we got in hyde park was worth it. We must be on hundreds of peoples demo photographs - which is nice. I even got on indymedia for the second time :D (first time was dancing on a road block, second time was looking vacently the other way as someone photo'd the dalek).
We missed most of the march, and I tuned out the speakers, so I can't really say much about how it went. I won a book that was raffled on the coach on the way there (Stop the War) and found out I know all the words to the Rudyard Kipling poem about "five and twenty ponies trotting through the dark" as someone sang it on the way home. We also got 'tutted' at for getting a bit hyper at the service station on the way back. G was rolling on the floor after we'd tickled him. We also used coke bottles as light sabers...
Not sure what else to say apart from I have a VERY impressive collection of bruises. I managed to fall over a post quite spectaculally when we were in London for DESi - i was looking over my shoulder for police - and ended up with a couple of big bruises on my knee and legs, and a sore elbow. And just to top it off, I managed to fall down the stairs earlier today - I have skinned my elbow and it's turning in to a big bruise. I also have a bruise on my back. And it hurts.
