French robots?

Today I went with my family to Fort George for a massive event they were putting on this weekend: it was the general reenactments as they often have at the historic Scotland sites but this one was on such a major scale; there were reenactment groups from all over the UK, covering wars from 900AD to present day. I found the first half more interesting with the swords, axes, flails, hammers and all that because I hate guns. But towards the end even the guns were pretty cool when there was about 40 soldiers lined up firing muskets st the crowd. It wasn't some mass genocide; they were firing blanks. Like I said the scale was massive; two arenas, camps dotted everywhere to meet the performers and look at / handle weapons, and right at the far end was the 1940s section with a full size stage for a full brass band and a dancefloor accessible to the public but also featuring professional dancers. The highlight was what was billed as a flyover by a spitfire. Turns out it was an original spitfire pilot who was doimg all sorts of tricks over us for ten minutes or so. Extremely well done to whoever organised it. After there it was a pretty low key day; buying shelves at B&Q I noticed they were a bit scratched so I haggled the price down with my mad skills. In getting home I realised my arms have been completely cremated in the sun. Not to complain about the awesome weather today, but I spent this evening trying everything to keep my arms cool to no avail. Pretty decent day, there's nothing really to complain about; even the sunburn is a slightly inconvenient side product of the amazing weather so doesn't really count as a downside. Song of the day is Veridis Quo by Daft Punk. I usually listen to music when writing this and I out on the Discovery album (one of my favourite albums of all time btw) and had totally forgotten about this tracks existence. Really nice instrumental; relaxing but also with a subtle undercurrent of power that gives it a half dreamlike, half inspiring quality. It's not often an instrumental dance track has that effect, which just goes to show how great Daft Punk are.
