    I think I saw this... there are so many similar things in the paper all the time that I think we become a bit immune to it, but I suppose when its someone you know it really brings home how awful it is.

    I'm still bothered and pondering about it this morning. And sod his anonymity. He was known as doing stalwart work within the disabled community and was in a wheelchair himself. He assaulted a lady with learning difficulties..... it makes me wonder if he'd done it before but never been caught...

    Despicable!

    Right, enough of that. I see I have done most of the bedroom, all I have to do is wipe down the paintwork I didn't do yesterday and I get a star :)

    But, I'll do that after I've finished NN's conservatory. We have cloud at the moment so I'd best get a move on. The reason I only did half of it yesterday was because the sun popped out and the conservatory got rather hot!
