David Cameron has said that the public have become frustrated with the status quo. It's about time. They've been playing the same three chords for over forty years now.

Today was a very enjoyable day.  In the morning, the kids seemed to actually enjoy the topics I got them to read about from the internet, this included a series of pictures from Yahoo! as well as (without the rude jokes,) one of my old blog posts.  And in addition to this, we watched the Lego movie, had some friends round and got the barbecue gas canister ready for our gas barbecue.  The kids got on well with Dylan who came over as well as Lynn and Steve (whom they have seen on many an occasion) and all in all, it was a great start to the bank holiday weekend which even the weather could not cause an issue with!

Russia wants to join Europe.

Whether we like it or not. 


When I have made this post, Europe is not a glowing green crater, and the Ukraine still exists.  At the moment, I am hoping that Ukraine is able to retain is territorial integrity, something that Russia had made a promise to respect when Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons.  I do hope that the people of Ukraine work to make their country a better place and not give into hatred.  At present, they live in a democracy...

I see the Kremlin ordered a fireworks display to celebrate Crimea joining Russia.

Either that or one of Putin's rivals tried to start his car.
