Foundation, Earth, and a Referendum
About two weeks ago I began reading Second Foundation, by Asimov. I was confused. I thought it was just me, my mind does tend to wander, but no - I was reading the books in the wrong order.
So now I know. I've moved on to another Asimov:
And will come back to the trilogy later. This is kind of embarrassing but that's part of what a blog is for.
In other news...
Here in Wales we're have a referendum on giving the Welsh Assembly government more power. I shall most certainly be voting yes to this.
As you may be aware there has recently been a big issue in the UK about student fees, for university, rising. Well, because of the Welsh Assembly it isn't happening in Wales. So for Welsh students this is great news.
Those of you reading this in England this is a sad state of affairs. I wish I could make some suggestion of what could be done. It seems that the Liberal Democrats have proven themselves to be true politicians - they make promises and do the exact opposite. Being kind though they are in government with the Conservatives so I guess there was no choice.
Of course they could have chosen not to join them.
It will be interesting to see if this rise in tuition fees has any effect on university attendance next year.
See you later in the week.
