There’s an old rhyme that goes along the lines of… Whether the weather be cold Whether the weather be hot We’ll weather the weather Whatever the weather We’ll weather it like it or not.

Pleased to say that none of the people listed in the Obituaries column of the Telegraph (UK version) or The Times was know to me. Let’s hope it stays that way! I suppose I knew of Kurt Waldheim but he never figured large on my radar once it become obvious he was never going to … More Obituaries

Maybe that *should* be ‘winter drawers on’ cos it’s getting pretty chilly here in the mornings with the temperature dropping to 4ºC this morning when I took the wife to the train station.
