The sun does shine

Today's lyric:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Why can't a woman be just what she seems?
Must she be tarnished by men who can only be men in their dreams?
When beauty meets ignorance they shout in the street
Repeating their offer to each girl they meet
The respect that she needs, it isn't a gift,
But it gets hard to lift yourself up when you don't have the strength to begin with
Why can't a woman stand alone?"

Elvis Costello: "Why can't a man stand alone?"
From the album: "All this useless beauty"

Ever a favourite

So we dragged ourselves out of our pit into the howling wind and rain on Sunday morning, for to traverse a 4+ mile cross-country walk for our favourite charity.

A quick group snap before setting off, whereupon the rain immediately stopped and remained thus until we arrived back at the meeting point exactly two hours later.

Maybe there is a god? Anyway, the charity is one hundred and five quid better off (it all goes towards palliative care - 50k GBP is needed each month for the county) and we all felt good about having made the effort.

Btw, thought Bocelli put in a very creditable performance in the Lloyd-Webber medley at the not-very-maudlin-at-all Diana concert yesterday. First time I'd really listened to the guy and was very impressed.
