Somethings going down in St Petes...

I'm not really a firm believer in karma, but today i get the feeling it does exist, and actually reads this blog for ideas at how to get back at me. Specifically following my admission of bricking it in front of foreign uniforms.

Walking round St Peters today the place was literally CRAWLING with millitary. I discounted the 100 soldiers that followed me round the Military history museum as being on some kind of trip (which granted... they probably were... and probably weren't strictly following me either). But then exiting the place they were EVERYWHERE.

There were genuinely at least 3 on every street corner. Groups of 15 or more trudged around. Half looked like they were on a jolly. Others looked like some sort of coup was about to take place. I thought of taking pictures... but then decided this wasn't the best way to lie low. I'll try some super spy skills tomorrow and get real pictures, because without them, you really can't believe just how crawling the place is.

So... Karma. If you should be reading this. I formally apologize for shoving that mars wrapper into that drain yesterday instead of finding a bin. Now please, leave me alone.

Huw, you may need to come back to England... I showed your blog to a friend (as well as that birthday video you were a part of) and she has the hugest crush on you :P she's also really pretty and has an IQ of 170 (she asked me to say that)

corrections: she actually said she was devastatingly gorgeous, and she also wants me to not tell you she told me to say it. So ignore the bit in brackets.

Also turns out, That day in St Petersburg happened to be the birthday of one Mr Vlad Putin Esq.

And he happened to decide to celebrate his birthday in sunny old Petersburg.
