I looked on BBC news website today for inspiration to blog. The two headlines this evening are the North and South Korea conflict and the Will and Kate marriage plans. One of them scares me half to death and the other gives me a warm fuzzy feeling and it didn't take a genius to work out which. One of them causes me to worry about a future tainted by nuclear arms. The other causes me to think about a young happy couple embarking on their future together. I did actually start to write about how I feel about the Korea situation but it degenerated fairly quickly into morbid speculation which to be honest is not my usual style and so is a bit indicative of my feelings on the subject.

I'm happy (in a kind of abstract 'oooh, love the Royals' happy) for Prince William and his lovely Kate. By all accounts she's a very down to earth person. Let's face it though, they already have a better chance of a successful marriage than Charles and Di seeing as there's no-one...
