The dismal weather relents a bit. the currant bun peeps from behind fluffy ones in a bright blue sky. Jolly J is on form. A nice giy. I'll genuinely miss him when he passes and goes on his way.
As we were driving around, I saw S, who I had taught before Christmas, waiting at the lights. Oddly it's the first time I have ever come across an ex pupil. And she the only one to have given me a thank you present!
The summit enters it's second and final day. I must pick up a paper more often I really am losing touch with the world I live in. Gordon and Nicolas are now on first name terms. Brown drivels on worthily about sending 16 million Africans to school and expects similar oratory from his oppo.
"I agree wiz Gordon" is the best Sarko can manage in reply. Bizarrely the MC is Arsene Wenger and the venue is Arsenal FC. Trivia may explain......Arsenal is one of only 4 (I think) station names common to the London Underground and the Paris Metro. Do I know the others? Sad I may be.........
Beeb news has been running an expo on pollution from Middway Island in the Pacific. It is quite astounding how much of our discarded plastic washes up on the beaches there. A team collects a pile of the crap 10 foot square by ten foot tall in half an hour. It looks like our bloody kitchen.
The local albatross population dine out on it daily, unable to distinguish it fro whatever it is that the gourmet albatross usually goes for, and it's killing them.
We're running out of places to bury the crap (our house now reaching bursting point) so it seems there's money t be made by loading it onto a boat and heaving it overboard into the ocean. I'll write a song one day.
"When will they ever learn".
