Summertime Part Two and The Daily Mirror

Random Thought: Upon thinking about this in class, I have decided that the newspaper that my LJ aspires to be is the Daily Mirror. Most generally considered a tabloid obsessed with celebrity and vacuous things, it also tries to espouse responsible journalism by tackling some serious or thought-provoking issues. It likes entertainment a lot, but doesn't totally buy into the cult of celebrity. That's what I think my LJ is like. At least it's not like The Sun. I appreciate that only the British amongst you will have a clue of what I'm talking about, and even then only if you know much about British newspapers. So that's just me and emony then? OK, fair enough.

Anyway, you will be pleased to know that my planned (in the loosest sense of the word) post about the Pope on the occasion of his silver anniversary of ascending to the papacy has been postponed because it's twenty to three in the morning and I don't want to put you all through that. Instead, I have a gift (in the loosest sense of the word) for you all. Yes! The second part of 'Summertime' is finally ready! If you'll recall, this is the summer fic that has a featuring role for someone called Maria Granger. Maria is spelled C-L-A-R-E of course. This is my attempt to see if self-inserts can work. It was quite awhile since I posted the first part, so I shall link you to it to refresh your memories.

Summertime

and now onto the second part!
