Newspaper front pages

Last week the papers were filled with stories of Paralympic glory. GB's medal haul and a stream of "inspirational" reports on the lives of Paralympians from around the world made for an almost universally positive crop of news reports on disability.

This week, the Games are over and reality is back with a bump, as the newspapers return to their usual reporting of disability matters.

    I made your opening ceremony post a Featured Link at my blog; tried to say so then but comments closed. Wordpress editors chose "Isaac Newton & the Paralympic Apples" for the blogging showcase Freshly Pressed. So you've been one of my featured links for a while,along with the NT page for Newton's home. Thanks for great blogging!

    By the way, if Â鶹Éç is going to limit the character count of comments, they ought to put up a notice to that effect, or at least tell me when I hit Preview; it's not 'til you try to post that it says "you're 100 characters over the limit" and then, at least on my system running Firefox, freezes the page. Not very friendly to anyone, especially those of us who have difficulty typing!
