Like many across the nation of my age, I was shocked to hear of the sudden death of Dolores O'Riordan. When younger I loved the song Linger, in fact I still do. Working in healthcare I am reminded how fragile life is, but this reminder, despite the way I see death stalk those younger, is stronger than others. I suspect that this is probably because of the sudden nature in how this happened, a death when no one amongst the public expected it.
As a family, we have been watching a film based on one Jane Austen film, in some stages. And the kids love it. Hopefully they will read the book, which to be fair is one of many classics that I have not done so. On the topic of family and relationships, it was interesting to see how a politician who left his (second) family for a model half his age has felt it necessary to dump her after she was 'indiscreet' on social media about her racist views about the royal family.
And I have finally watched the two most important games from yesterday. First of all, the nail biting match between Liverpool and Manchester City which means that Arsenal remain the last team to finish a season unbeaten. And of course the capitulation of Arsenal away to Bournemouth. While many are calling for the head of Arsene Wenger, it may be too early to say so. We were without several first team players and we are still in the league cup as well as the Europa Cup. I have to be honest in that I am torn between loyalty towards him and the desire for the club to evolve. Anyway, I am to watch StarvTrek now. good night all.
