A mixture of news

A man had to be evicted from a hospital. He had been living there for three years. But for the past 2 and a half years he hadn't needed medical attention or nursing care. I wonder where he will live now?
The President of Brazil is here on a state visit. This means he rides around London in a carriage with various members of the Royal Family. Then he'll have a banquet, and various politician will propose toasts of everlasting friendship and the Queen will show him parts of her private collection of pictures and artifacts - probably containing bits of Brazil's history that she's picked over the past half century. Then he'll give her a gift and she'll give him a memento of the visit.
Tessa Jowell still needs to answer lots of questions - but she has 'lost' her husband. They'll be tears before too long.
It has been raining in London for the past 24 hours. It is (we're told) the correct kind of rain. This is the rain that it steady and constant which means it will soak into the ground and top up the water table - drought averted? I don't think so!
