Condoléances to the right honourable PM Andy Burnham and his family who lost his dad not two months after being elevated deservedly to be prime minister, it is a devastating blow for him after his joy at the weekend for finishing the great north run RIP.

Bonnie Greer the playwright and novelist has passed away aged 77.
I remember her though from her role as critic/commentator on a culture show that used to run i think on Friday nights at 11pm on BBC 2

Rest in power Bonnie Greer.
The world seems poorer now you are gone
I loved Bonnie on Question Time and other Talk Shows and how she brought down people to earth.
She was so intelligent, witty and a humanitarian. She woke us up to be culturally aware about who we were, especially if you were women of colour and to discuss political topics within race relations, equality in Britain.

Pergatory, perhaps.
Esther Rantzen has died:
I remember her best from That’s Life, talking dogs, rude vegetables and all, but she was a relentless campaigner outside of her broadcasting work.

Jeffrey Archer - wow he was my favourite all time author. Kane and Abel what a great read and one of many he wrote.
That’s spooky. I had a compilation of 1970s hits on in the car this morning, and One Day At A Time came on.

Her mother was my paternal grandfathers sister.
Never met her though.

I would have thought Lulu, but she didn’t have a solo UK number one.
Lena Martell’s “One Day at a Time” was also a huge Irish hut for a singer called Gloria. Probably in the charts for a year.
Rest in Peace Lena Martell.
