An evening with Benazir Bhutto

I HAVE been relatively quiet over the weekend in terms of postings on this blog, and there is one good reason for that: I have been a very busy boy!
Not politically, well mostly not politically, anyway. On Saturday I was working, before going to my soon-to-be-uncle’s stag night and on Sunday morning, I attended a christening (one down, two to go as I shall explain in another post on another day).
