2nd November

Officially, the day of the dead in Catholic Mediterranean tradition - hmmm.
Happy.

In other news ...
Today in 1903, the Daily Mirror was launched, specifically as a newspaper for women. great, I hear my good lady wife say, especially as that was the year the Women's Suffrage Union was set up. But wait, say I. The Daily Mirror's readership had a reading age of 8, so there appears to be a teensy bit of condescension somewhere.
Or is it just me?
