o-ba-ma ap-ril fool

obama is in town and the sirens have not stopped since last night. the prez'dent arrived last night around 8.30 via chopper and *decoy chopper* (quote my boyfriend) at his sleepover at the american ambassador's residence, next to regent's park and therefore not far from us! we could have invited him and his wife (and their decoys?) to a cup of tomato soup! just the cheese sandwiches would not have been well divided by 4... next to the us residence is also london's great central mosque. there's irony for you.

today will see countless (well, about 20) motorcades rushing up and down the main arteries into and around central london, transporting world leaders attempting to play april fool jokes on each other. i hope, no i'm sure, the media will keep us abreast on the best jokes and the scores.

april fool!
