Scary post from the guardian. Go and fill in the petitions.
There are also some excellent discussion threads on there tonight. I particularly enjoyed Natalie’s Give Waynetta Rooney a chance
In other news, it’s Wednesday. Where are my thunderstorms? I was promised thunderstorms, and I was really looking forward to them. It’s been very hot in our office today. But I did go for a swim at lunchtime again, third week running. Can’t remember whether I blogged it before, but I managed 20 lengths the first week and hurt lots afterwards. Last week I did 26 (ish) and didn’t particularly hurt, this week I wrapped up 30, including several crawl. Feeling very proud of myself.
I’ve also been managing to get to bed a little earlier each night, to eat more fruit and veg (never mind children getting reported, I’m a vegetarian and I often don’t manage my recommended portions!) and I’ve gone on the occasional walk.
All of these things are conspiring to make me feel quite a bit happier in myself. Now, if I could just save the world and wipe out sexism as well…

Thunderstorm here last night, which somehow only managed to add to the oppressive humidity today. Another one just started - pleeeeeeease clear the air!
We had the most extra-ordinary pink sky last night; it clouded over and the clouds turned pastel pink. Then a storm rattled around in the distance, but never really got going.
We had a storm here at last, they’ve been missing us. Not that it has cleared the air much. Hope you get your fair share of storms and rain soon.
Big storm here last night, air is a bit clearer now with a definite breeze but still v hot.
no storms here either but today feels a shade cooler and less muggy so I’ll let that one pass. Apparently we have this for the whole of summer so buy shares in Ambre Solaire!
Well done with the swimming! and the fruit and veg thing, not easy is it???
