It's good that they are ok - there seem to be many more people who had been at the market from the UK last week. It's such a shame that people need to lose their lives in this awful and distressing way.
A suspect, believed to be the driver of the lorry, has been arrested and is in the process of being questioned by police.

Looks to be a Polish lorry, the news are saying, they aren't sure who's behind it atm but think the lorry could of been hijacked.

In a state of rage when someone either spoils your photo-op or nearly mows you down on a bicycle or a mobility scooter would be my guess. Shame there's no prizes.

We're not getting any buses, either.
Thank goodness we do have a car. I've not even been able to persuade bigun to leave the house for a post prandial pokewalk. He reckons there's no point when there's nothing even open.

Want to bet there's another shock death before 2017?.

Anyone remember when Michael Jackson went, you could not escape from hearing about his demise and hearing his music and tributes, that was probably the biggest death of a musician in the 21st century so far.

The one that got to me this year was the passing of Bowie, listen to his songs now and I still can't quite believe that he's gone, especially as it came completely out of nowhere. Prince was another sad loss this year.

Yep, Bowie really threw me. I could often say , nah, not in the mood, about his stuff, but it was such a central part of the past 40 odd years of my life that his death totally floored me.

I normally pick favourite quotes from an artist's work, but with Bowie it's impossible. I love the references made in Life on Mars, the tone to Modern Love and the concept behind Starman. There's so much to appreciate with the music on any and every level.
I love a few of Princes songs, too. "I would die 4 u", "when doves cry", "purple rain" etc. With Michael, Careless Whisper has always been a classic.
I'm guilty of only noticing how good an artist was after they've passed, such as the fact I'd forgotten all about Modern Love, most of Prince's work and attitude, and the lower-lying work by Michael. It's sad that we're only forced good art down our throats once the leading figures have passed. It was the same with Gerry Rafferty, with 'Night owl'.. A song that had slipped me until his passing back in 2011. I don't look back with sadness at their work, it just provokes me to think about the lyrical content a bit more, especially with albums like Blackstar. Most songs tell a story that most overlook.
It's important to embrace and appreciate an artist's work, for they created work to last. Sometimes the less preferable content got the heavy MTV rotation, but I don't think any single one of the artists would want people to fuss over their disappearance, more just focus on their work and message.

Liz Smith, who played Nana in the Royle Family, died on Christmas Eve aged 95.
BBC just had the 'Queen of Sheba' episode where her character dies on the other night too.

Tip of the day - avoid the Metrocentre, it's rammed and traffic around there is building up as well.

Managed to get out of the car park alive, how I don't know! considering everyone is too busy looking looking for parking spaces instead of looking where they are going, just about every junction where people had to give way to us, they cut out in front of us.
