Could Miserablism Be On The Wane?

[sp1814]

Even a temporary respite from what my mum refers to a 'grizzle drizzle' must be a good thing surely?

Lovely weather, royal baby silliness, the cricket, tennis, rugby and Tour De France all making people grin...

And now news that British films made a stocking £3.5billion at the box office lat year (15% of all takings!!!)

Is anyone else feeling a bit happier? Or is this just a brief ray of sun, until the next thundercloud of glumness arrives?

as long as I try not to think of Osborne... and Boris... and bankers... and immigrants... and the EUSSR... and gay marriage... and chavs with 16 kids... I can just about crack a smile.

Oh wow, I'm so cheered up now. You'd never believe the difference in my sunny outlook.

There's quite a bit of glumness about sometimes. I try to avoid it, if possible.

the baby now has names George Alexander Louis, so that's good.
the weather is good, not sure what else one can say

Really gutted that the baby didn't get Kate's dad's name as a middle name...


...because he would then be Prince George Michael.

Two 80s pop stars for the price of one...

they've already got an Andrew, that might be enough for one family.

Sport and baby aside, a good thunderstorm would complete my happiness.

Sigh. If it wasn't for the nihilism, I'd have nothing to look forward to.
