For now, I'm going to try and get the gist down - I've already forgotten which bits of my notes were things that were said, and which were things I found myself thinking during the papers themselves. Don't suppose it matters really. It does mean what

The two things I meant to write about yesterday. (Was it only yesterday? It seems so long ago) I'll put them both together, though they are odd bedfellows - they topped and tailed my day.I started by lying in, as there was (possibly because of the st

Not that I've ever been much of a shoe addict, but there was a sale on at the weekend, so these had to come home with me. Not comfortable, of course, and not actually quite so well, pink, but very nice all the same. Certainly sparkly <grin>. V

Well, I feel quite cheated. Disappointingly we had only four candidates to choose from, none of whom were anything remotely inspiring. I might have been tempted to vote for an Independent Tony Martin, the infamous Durham Cobbler, 'cept he's stood a
