After the really nice 'day off' yesterday, when a fabulous couple had their Big Day, and the clocks of the world stopped, just so that we could all watch, we are now back to normal. Now we catch up with what we missed, where it happened, and such... the trouble is, most of the news is, well, trouble...

I suppose that there is some good news out there, somewhere, but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack - without a magnet!

Royal Weddings...
All in all, young Kate looked lovely today. Wills is clearly going thin on top. The rest of the Firm was (mostly) there. I think that it is long overdue for the Royal Family to marry into good stock; perhaps this has happened today? I wish them well, and perhaps Kate can bring some sense of ...well, sense, to the Royals. Their performance over the last few decades has not won them any awards.
Best wishes to the new couple.

The voice of sanity...?
I am sure that there is one, out there, somewhere...? That person is just doing a very good job of hiding, that is all. I used to think that sanity, and basic common sense, was all around, and we used it every day. Not too difficult - quite easy really, when you think of it.
Then I start to read the news - the Real IRA, who ignore the announcement of the IRA, that there would now be peace in NI (I never believed it; not really - too much hatred, to much blood...call me again in 50 years, when it is proven!).
And then this 'fiction' that Hamas and the PA are now bestest buddies? Oh come on - who are you trying to kid? You have spent so much time (wasted, more like...) trying to get rid of Israel, you have bred hate and fear for decades, so that no-one will really believe you...will they? And just today a newscaster actually had the cheek to be hurt that the Israelis were not really buying into the announcement. It said a lot about the newscaster - none of it good!
This planet is all we have, and the poor people in Libya and Saudi Arabia are now being killed (murdered) by the forces in power, in their last-ditch effort to stay in power. What a mess! I'm thinking of voting Greens in the up-coming elections.
