    How on earth do you get to sleep tonight?

    For me bedtime is about fifteen hours away and hopefully I will have come down by then. But, I doubt it. I can only imagine that winning the lotto could make me feel as excited as I am right now. But, I doubt that too.

    It's worth a thought re Harry and Meghan.

    It makes no difference to me whether you're royalty, a socialite or at the bottom of the social ladder. In the twenty first century, nobody should be posed the question of what a babies skin colour will be. Many countries that make up our " Commonwealth " have had a foreign flag raised on...
