I see that Reuters are reporting that after "six prime ministers in six years of sometimes bloody political upheaval" Thailand has just elected it's first ever female Prime Minister. Are they sure? Are they really sure? Nice walk around the Valley Gardens this morning, chanced across a 3/4 melted cornetto, which is always a bonus. You get a better class of litter dropper round the Valley Gardens. There was an old lady sitting in the cafe, supping a cup of tea and eating a Kit Kat. As she bit into it she got all excited, as they are running this competition at the moment and if you find one with red in the middle you win ten grand. She's jumping up and down going "it's red, it's red!" Her carer said, "no Doris, you've got gum disease, remember?" The Beckhams are expecting a new addition to their happy throng today I hear. Their first girl by all accounts. I'm forecasting 6lb 2oz. I'm not going to bother predicting the weight of the baby though.
You couldn't make it up could you. I spent much of the weekend dozing on the sofa watching telly. Glastonbury was on, although sad to say there was no Snoop Dog, Bone Jovi or any other canine related artists. The big news seemed to be the lack of female headliners and now we know why as one scored a spectacular own goal. She missed her slot cos she was doing her hair. It takes ages she said. Why NOT start doing your hair well before your show time. Aaagh no where's my handbag I've left it in the car, I've got to back to fetch it.
