Here comes the Sun!


Yes, 5.30 this morning saw the beginning of the northern hemisphere winter solstice. We have  turned the corner of the year, and are on the road to summer. There will be icy patches to contend with yet, but who cares - we're on the way!

Stand by for a Sell-out

David Cameron, according to the dailies, is off to Paris to discuss the EU's problems with Sarkozy. Stripped of the journalese, I suspect that he is being called into the presence like Papandreou and Berlusconi before him, to be told that he must either knuckle under or step down. Knowing Cameron, he will probably cave in. I hope I'm wrong, but past experience isn't encouraging.





On another subject entirely, this morning has seen the first frost of the season. The factory roofs opposite my window are white over. Oo-er!
