scaring the horses (actually the dog!)

It took us a while, but we've worked it out - the guys who were lined up on parade outside Sancta Sophia on Friday, and the guys running around Victoria Park in matching t-shirts and shorts holding water bottles, and the marching bands practising outside the Women's College at Sydney University this morning (who so alarmed Malfi that Tim had to pick her up and carry her along the road) - they're all here for the Edinburgh Military Tattoo "Salute to Australia"

Why Australia needs saluting I don't know.
