Rubbers - boots of course! in blackpropaganda

In a way I pity the government here. Not a lot, but what can they do about the forces of nature when they go on the rampage. All we need now is a plague of frogs after the battering the south west coast got yesterday - and there is more coming this weekend. The ministers are going round like headless chickens trying to look like they are doing something - but the Environment Minister has had to go in to hospital for emergency treatment on a detached retina. As someone pointed out he looked fine yesterday - and if this was not Britain some people would be saying it was a diplomatic problem to take him away from the firing line. When he went to visit the fllods he did not take his weliies and was less than gracious - when Prince Charlie and his consort went they waded through the water - guess who is the most popular royal after the Queen now - good PR Charlie. And he echoed the Prince of Wales in the early 30s when visiting the miners - something has to be done - or should have been done earlier - nice one!!! So we just get rain and wind, and live on a hill - and away from the south west - but this never ending series of storms is getting on our nerves.

I see Liz Hurley is denying she had an affair with Bill Clinton. I just wonder what constitutes an affair these days - a blow job? a shag? Two shags? More? Any thoughts? Anyway it seems she never saw the peculiarity of his penis that was all the talk a long time ago.

And what joy to take the train to the city yesterday for a lunchtime concert - to sit and listen to great music well played is a balm to the soul and spirit in these depressing times. Still it is sunny this morning - Hey said Noah, let's send out a dove!!!

and - something to supplement income in these hard times
