The first post, better than it being the last I suppose.

Well, Carnival is nearly upon us. The parking restriction signs have been up for a while now, shops are being boarded up, traffic islands moved, stacks of steel barriers are appearing on street corners. Vast quantities of food and drink have been bought and every masquerader, band member, stallholder, food seller and party goer is  just waiting for the weather to cooperate.

Some people move out, the majority stay and others just have no choice. It's not a simple as loving it or hating it, there's more to it than that.

Enough for now. I've popped my blogging cherry, which is a bit of a relief but I'll be back with more to say about Carnival very soon.
