What no spring anymore? (and some chit chat)

It may be a little naff to blog about the weather, but how strange it is becoming nowadays. It went from cold to hot in a matter of days in April, and there are forest fires in England! At the same time the temperatures were so high in England, in Iraq where it is usually very hot this time of year, they were experiencing torrential rain and flooding. We had hardly any autumn last year either, again it just went from hot to cold in days, the winter although fairly short was severe. Its similar but different to the North American climate, although they have short summers and long winters, we seem to be having long hot summers and short winters. And I do mind. I always liked our temperate climate, you could remain quite active for most of the year, but personally I am not too good in hot weather ( being light skinned) in fact I almost hate it. In the quick turn around minus the spring, I have been feeling strange, very irritable, on a short nerve and have been experiencing various uncomfortable physical symtoms like dizziness, headache and so on. I feel like there is a lot of pressure on me, my head seems to be bearing the brunt of it.

On other news; the election, it was good to see the lib dems get a telling off for being yellow tories by the electorate and I hope they stick to what was being said on the news programme today with Andrew Marr that they would be opposing tory NHS 'reform'. The NHS was a hard won right, fought for by those who came back from the second world war, its disgraceful to their memory to dismantle it like they are attempting to do.

Also it was marvellous to see a wipe out of the BNP, wipeout in Stoke, wipeout everywhere ( I think they only have one person now in Barnsley or somewhere that way) . So from that point of view, very good news.

AV also got defeated, it was a bad compromise on PR and would have set back that programme for a long while, I am glad it was rejected as it was also another blow for the lib dems, they really must learn now ( although I doubt they will; they'll probably still be clinging on in government and seeing out the cuts and dirty work of the tories), I always felt that the saying 'never trust a liberal' had something in it.

The talk of the Royal wedding was the awful attire of the princess's, Beatrice and Eugenie. I did explain to my nephew that the gossip at any wedding is always someones embarrassment, it rather disturbingly turns into the news of the day as with the princess's, my niece told me that I should not feel sorry for either of them as I kind of felt their embarrassment, and so I took her advice and I don't, they both just looked like right messes ( oh you bitch!), but ain't that all the things that weddings reinforces? Of course this special wedding was not a state occasion, it was therefore private, so how come we had to foot the bill for it? Face book acted very strangely too and took down about fifty or so profiles on the night of the Royal wedding, many of them anti cuts pages, I woke up to find I had lost a large chunk of my face book friends overnight, I thought it was an organised something, apparently there was police involvement, all the pages have now been reinstated I believe, so what storm in a tea cup all of that was.

It was a wonderful surprise when out shopping with my sisters family, waiting outside a shop for them on account of predicting to be thoroughly bored, a wonderful May Day demonstration went past just where I was, I did take some pics with my phone and will be uploading them soon, it was great, a nice bit of red to balance the overdose of blue of that weekend.
