Same old.......

Lib Dem minister to pay back £40,000 in expenses row, Cameron gives peerages to two large Conservative Party backers, former government ministers to become Lords including John Prescott, so what's changed the new politics appears to ape the old.

Meanwhile the Con Dem Govt refused to put up a spokesman for BBC's Question Time on Thursday evening, their logic was that the "Labour representative" was unelected spin-master Alastair Campbell. In a barbed release they stated that Campbell's presence was simply to aid him sell copies of his extended diaries due for imminent publication. The BBC of course guard their right to invite whoever they think will make an entertaining programme, with Campbell, Sky's Adam Bolton would have been an interesting selection. As for the government of course they have the right to decline, but of course the public have the right to regard them as fritt.

At the test match England moved past 500, no batsman failed but none other than Trott will be entirely happy with their showing. Bangladesh on the other hand had a bowler take a "fifer" at Lords and made a highly respectable reply before stumps.

On a personal note in my role as School Case Worker I had my first visit to another school to aid a member in negotiation, and I think matters will be resolved satisfactorily .At work it seems that next year I will get Monday's off but what's important is the spread of lessons over the other days.

Graham & Alex returned from Mexico and I was able to explain to Graham in person about Marmite's illness and death. The four of us went to Nirvana in the evening , a really good curry and excellent company.

Third night of disturbed sleep due to sinus problems, must admit the pain cast a shadow over the day. Ho-hum.
