News

I found myself feeling rather put out listening to the radio news this morning as I tried to persuade myself to get up. Why you ask. The main item continued to be about the royal engagement. Now don't get me wrong, I am happy for the couple. Everybody deserves the happiness & support of a loving relationship. But that was yesterday's news. There was nothing new, no date fixed, no venue, nothing new. I was rather more concerned to hear more detail of the flooding in Cornwall which was mentioned in a small aside beforehand. This was news, something that had happened in between my going to bed & waking in the morning. Surely it should be in the nature of news that there should be something new to report.
