"You're going to be reading a bit today about your secret plan to fight inflation."
So, I am back in sunny Barlborough for the second time in a week (ah, the M1, my dear old chum), this time for Grandpa's funeral (he died at the beginning of last week). It feels a bit weird to have gone from having all my grandparents less than two years ago, to having just one clinging still to the vine. Anyway, another outing of the funeral dress for me.
In other news, I was simultaneously amused and dismayed by the Daily Mail's headline today: "Clegg in Nazi slur on Britain". Fucking hell, DM, really? Here is the article in question: Don't mention the war. Grow up, which seems perfectly reasonable to me, and relates to #6 of my previous post.
Our programme manager is due back today, having been off two weeks for stress. Having started in February, she's approaching the point where she's been off more than she's been in. I have demanded of Amanda that she text me the minute there is news of whether she has returned or not.
I am currently reading another new Stephanie Laurens. Seriously, why am I doing this to myself? I know that she's gone a bit shit, but like some mindless sheep, I keep trundling towards the slaughter gate of the sub-par trashy romance. In happier reading, I'd like to recommend Beswitched by Kate Saunders, about a girl who gets sent off to boarding school by her parents and ends up in a girls' school in 1935. It's actually vg, and I loved it.

That Daily Fail front page is, well, I'd say it's unbelievable but for the Mail it obviously isn't. I'm getting more and more interested to see what the Lib Dems are going to do in this election.

The Daily Fail just gets worse. Sometimes I think they use the Daily Mail Headline Generator to come up with their stories. Nick Clegg impresses me more and more. If only our local LibDems weren't so obnoxious...

Despite that truly awful cover, I'm adding 'Beswitched' to my wishlist. Thanks for the rec!
