Lighten up

After my week-long absence, what’s changed? Very little, it seems. The rain is still falling and is forecast to continue for some time. If you were of a negative disposition it would be too easy to be ground down by the unrelenting tide of gripe that is our national press, the media. In the same way an old photo of Tommy Cooper always conjures a smile, Huw Edwards nightly appearance acts as a harbinger of gloom. David Amess might be offended by botoxed presenters, but if it brings a smile to their face then so much the better.
