Today, at last, feels like a genuine Spring day. The air feels fresh and comfortably warm and even the odd cloud in the sky seems thoroughly benign. I've just come back from a half hour of dental delight. Nothing very poetic there although my dentist is a nice lady who always takes good care of me. Naturally the anticipation of knowing one is due for a dentist's appoinment is always worse than the actual ordeal. But there you go.
The news today is Kylie Minogue being diagnosed with breast cancer and having to cancel her Australian tour and appearance at the Glastonbury festival. Being both an Australian in exile as well as a former teenager during the eighties, I've always liked the diminutive Aussie popstar. From naff to very naff to very cool, Kylie has survived in the fickle world of pop music and I do like an Australian doing well in the U.K. Sad news for Kylie then and of course the affliction affects many women, famous or not, but I do hope 'she'll be apples'..
