Park Party!
Play on

It finally looks like the weather's getting back to normal, and once it stops hailing London's greener spots are definitely the place to be.

If you're free this afternoon for instance you can play some Poker in the Park. O, we know calling that grassy bit in the middle of Leicester Square a 'park' might be a bit of stretch, but it's free and there's pro's on hand to teach the tricks of the trade so at least you won't be going home penniless.

We're also contemplating a trip down to the Tower Music Festival, but we have to admit the music isn't the main draw. Apparently Mercier Champagne have dispatched a fleet of French tricyclists (complete with berets) to provide a 'bubbly on wheels' service to the crowds. You don't get that at Glastonbury!

But what we're really looking forward is the Gumtree (bear with us) Sports Day on July 22 on Clapham Common. We at UJ have been talking about launching a sports day for ages, so good to see that someone actually has done it. Expect the usual tricks: sack racing and egg and spoon as well as the slightly less-traditional, but no less welcome, organic farmers market.

Now if only they would invite the Mercier guys down there, too; sack racing on three glasses of champagne anyone?
