		<description><![CDATA[	I bought red boots today. For some reason (possibly alcohol) this strikes me as important and worth blogging about. Spent most of the day wandering around markets in the East End. They just kept going, and going and going. Eclectic mix of consumerism, flea markets (car boot sale like things, only without the car), art [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, the conference I left Helsinki early for happened. Unfortunately, I didn&#8217;t make it to the actual conference. No one reason - well one embarrassing one - but mostly a myrid of little ones. Including being over-tired, ill, and a little overwhelmed by London. Sort of disappointed, but once stomach settled  - it was too late [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As if one conference/seminar/course wasn&#8217;t enough, I am doing another one tomorrow. Nature Networks are running a one day conference on science blogging at the Royal Institute in London. The programme looks quite interesting, and I have already decided which of the &#8220;Breakout&#8221; sessions I will be attending (presuming enough space of course).

(UPDATE: Due to my moronic ability to muck up backing up - this photo no longer exists: see [...]]]></description>
