Face life, with a little guts and lots of glitter

It may be Monday again - but the countdown to this Saturday's Gay Pride in London has begun!

Indeed, it begins on the remarkable - and heartening - note that the embattled Pride celebrations in Budapest, Hungary (under the thumb of that nasty piece of work Viktor Orban, whose regime has brought in draconian anti-gay legislation) went ahead on Saturday just gone... and an estimated 200,000 people joined the throng, many of whom had never turned out before!! [To put things in perspective, last year just 35,000 took part.]

A reminder, indeed, that Pride isn't just a carnival celebration - it is a protest that has real meaning!

Turning full circle, it is a Tacky Music Monday - a day for a song-and-dance "wake-up call" - and this classic number fits the bill perfectly:

Have a good week, dear reader - and keep cool. It's forecast to be up to 34C/93.2F in London today!
