Amidst the solemness (is that a word?) of the occasion, the newspapers headlines sum up the funeral yesterday of Margaret Thatcher surprisingly well. Even the Guardian takes a slightly more respectful right wing view than normal, although the comments sections are full of nutters who can't see further than the end of their noses. ..but what did the Daily mail online have a report on? Just below the headline picture of the coffin we find a picture of Katherine Jenkins with the strap line asking 'did she bare too much cleavage?'. Very important. It's lucky for them they found a picture of someones partially exposed chest to snap - not that it was exposed, but I guess it was relative to everyone else. I'm not going to check, but it wouldn't surprise me if they run an online poll.
I listened to the funeral on the radio between offices, and I must confess I thought it was just right for Maggie despite the cost. Those that care so much about the cost of such things need to get out more and see how much we waste on pomp and circumstance every day of the week. ..and the vitriol some people write/spout about politicians they don't agree with never ceases to amaze me.
Went out in my new running shoes yesterday, and I got my aching thigh back within a quarter of a mile, so I'll be going back to the shop when I get chance..
