I've just realised I have got to work and do not know this morning's news. I don't know how Basra is or if Baghdad has fallen. I have a knowledge void which I need to fill. It does seem that life is full of 'events' lately. Last year there was the Queen mother snuffing it, the golden jubilee and then the world cup. It seems to be a most eventful time to live in.
Talking of golden ages, unfortunately, due to the extended news coverage, not a lot has been said about the fabulous Elizabeth I whose 400th anniversary of her death passed by uneventfully on Monday. Shame on us all.
I think, therefore, I must ask you all to raise a glass to her as soon as possible, we all have a lot to be thankfull to her for........especially Glenda Jackson.
