At around 12:00 Central European Time (CET) the leaders of the G8 nations plus the leaders of the G5 nations assembled in Italy to discuss global warming and climate change on the second day of the G8 Summit. As with all G8 Summits the purpose of this meeting wasn't so much to reach an agreement on the issues as to lay the groundwork for a future summit that may or may not reach an agreement.
By an amazing coincidence at around 12:00 CET protesters assembled in Tehran for what was billed as the first large demonstration since the country's disputed election. In the end only about 300 people turned up and were quickly dispersed by the police. I'm not sure exactly what happened because for once the BBC had decided that there was no need to report on an Iranian protest.
In more local news my saga with the Help the Aged cleaner has come to an abrupt end. After her first day of work three weeks ago the cleaner failed to turn up last week and today we have been informed that she won;t be turning up for work again. This means that Britain's much vaunted counter attack against me has lasted for the sum total of 53 minutes.
