Peru 2025

 Next time do not stay in Los Olivos. You will have read this before. Yes, I should just get the metropolitano back and forth I should also go somewhere self catering- and get a Sim card

I did see Snra Rosa and her family which I enjoyed. I am pleased to have done so

I did get out of Lima. I saw a bit of the hills. I think we were near Chosica- where Porky's new train runs. Also the Lima drivers were terrible- with 

I did eat cuy, so that is ticked off the list. A pity El Matarina seems dead these days. 

I am pleased we went swimming 

I am disappointed we did not meet her- My daughters therapists from the Hospital of the Children

I am sorry Ms Kelly

I had a brief moment of nostalgia lately. I recalled my French teacher at GCSE. Ms Kelly Who as a young 20 something was charged with teaching me French. I recalled an incident where I had written Mower les Grass or something, at the end of a worksheet. She had complained to a senior member of staff. He told me off. I had forgotten the context. I had basically let myself be used as a catspaw for someone else to raise havoc in her class. I was bored and it seemed fun. So she probably loathed me. Which I now realise she was correct to do so

QPR V Birmingham City

I missed the winning goal. My bladder betrayed me- and I am kicking myself ! QPR went ahead thanks to the formidable Jimmy Dunne and held out untill the 93 minute. The Birmingham city fans rejoiced and relished the equaliser. No doubt the sweeter for the visitors as the Loftus Road boo boys had been in full voice. Berating the City of Birmingham, and singing ``Feed the Brummies''. This is sung to the same tune as Do they Know it's Christmas https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/cm28m95r897t Then Morgan struck and struck home. QPR are 6th in the league!

Dr Neil Stewart

I learned today that Neil Stewart, whom I knew when I attended the University of Glasgow has died. I am deeply saddened by this news I met Neil as a fresher at Reith Hall back in the 1990s Neil was a wonderful warm prescence in the Halls. Always ready with a joke, and for someone far away from home- A kind word. I remember Neil was chosen to give a speech at a halls event A small nod to the esteem people who met him held him in A beloved husband, son and father As well as a dedicated doctor May his memory be a blessing
