A Sad Sunday

Ex-president Václav Havel has died.  It's the end of an era.  It was a shock to discover it as I signed out of my seznam account.  I went straight to the Czech national paper's site at www.idnes.cz to read the full report.  It bothers me that this means Margaret Thatcher has outlived him.  (Unless she died years ago but it's been a well-kept secret ever since.  Either that or no-one could tell the difference.)  That just seems wholly unfair.

In other, far less important, news I've just had the worst tummy bug of my life and I'm only just slowly recovering from it.  Sipping peppermint tea is just becoming possible without severe pain as a consequence.  I'm recovering.  Slowly.  Very slowly.
