Another busy weekend that spilt into the beginning of this week. The cold spell seems to have eased off, and so perhaps we may not have a white Christmas after all....speaking of which I was walking down Regent Street on Sunday and night and was struck by the sheer tastelesness of the Christmas lights ......they looked like someone had just put up huge swathes of sparkling blue Lurex, interspersed with incongruous cartoon animals....really hideous
Still on Christmas, many of my English friends like to moan about how much they dislike the enforced camaraderie and jollity of Christmas, and then theygo on to regale me with stories of what a nightmare it's been buying Christmas presents and trying to book train tickets to visit their family members (who they can't stand) and so on and so forth, and I wonder why they bother if it's such a pain.......
Today sees the formal anointing of David Cameron as leader of the Opposition- even as I type the Tory leadership ballots are being counted, and barring any major upset, Cameron will be facing Tony Blair at Prime Minister's Questions tomorrow...I was listening to some of Cameron's supporters on the radio earlier today and they spoke about how he was ging to remodel the Tory party for instance by positively enhancing the role of women in the party and tackling climate change. Conspicuous by its absence was any mention of any other minorities........looks like it's still a steep climb ahead for the Tories........
