Well - we arrived back from hols on Sunday and it was freezing! We lit the fire, turned on the heating, got the duvet out again - brrrr! Its not even the end of September! However today the temperature has gone back up to 21 degrees so maybe it was just a blip?
As far as current events go I am fascinated by the brothers Miliband. Firstly, I was amazed that Ed won, I was so sure that David would but even more interesting is the way David has been unable, despite great effort, to keep his feelings under wraps. I was never fooled by the loving brothers act but why would you fuel the media frenzy by making your anger and disappointment so plain? I think he thinks he is doing a great job of hiding it but I have to say he has failed dismally.
I know that it must seem that my favourite (indeed only) topic is the media but I am constantly irritated and frustrated by what is regarded as news. Whilst on holiday we bought a Daily Mail because none of the broadsheets had arrived due to strike action by air traffic controllers in France (a topic for another day I think). On page 3 there was a 'fascinating' news story about Kate Winslet, her new boyfriend, her childcare arrangements with ex-husband Sam Mendes and her attire - apparently tracksuit, trainers and no make up one day and designer dress the next day - the former to picnic in the park with Sam and the children and the latter to attend a glamorous function with new boyfriend. Absolutely amazing piece of news this!
