Today has been a politics free day and it feels great. I’ve avoided the papers and the calls.

I took Mrs Watson to see the baggies humiliated at football. The boy was looked after by his grandma. This is a big deal in our house – he’s only ever been left witout one of us for an hour and 45 before.

Now, itunes is on shuffle mode and I’m reading a book of Pablo Neruda poems that Mrs W. has dug out of a box. If only the rest of the week could be like this.

I don’t mind the BBC making a bob or two by selling stuff on their shows. I don’t even mind the beloved Today programme selling £12.50 egg cups shaped in the characture of some of their presenters. What I can’t accept is that they’ve left out Carolyn Quinn. She presents the Today programme; why can’t they make her an egg cup?

A certain irony in a very famous advertising person calling women “crap” and blaming the blogging medium for his demise. Nancy Vonk seems to have lit the blue touch paper.
