                               QPR managed to draw at Ispwich 0- 0 but still I will take it      In Glasgow on the last day of the year. Celtic won 2-1. A very dramatic game

Limbo

Season 7 Magnum P.I  My brother and I watched Limbo. Which should have been the last episode of Magnum P.I (Tom Selleck) Magnum is killed in a warehouse, having been ambushed. ( The ambush may be something of a ret con) Selleck wanted to quit Magnum- He had been the first choice to play Indiana Jones.  but good ratings in part due to Frank Sinatra guest starring in Laura, and better writing made the CBS network write Selleck a cheque. I think season 6 is pretty forgettable In contrast  I really have enjoyed season 7. A lot of people like Laura,  which is the episode with Old Blue Eyes which in contrast I find hard going. I note that you can actually buy a copy of Frank Sinatra's Hawaiian shirt from Laura I would have liked to have seen Sinatra return though  It is a pity because this episode is a bittersweet classic. From the cold opening with TS fighting for his life and sweating hard in the back streets of Honolulu. Honolulu is the State Capital of a tourist p...

Bon Voyage

  My friend Christopher and his son, who have just watched Brighton beat Spurs. As well as all their family. safe jouney home Round up of today's events QPR lost against Millwall of St Stevens day. A very disappointing result Rumour has it  Richard Franklin who played Yates in Dr Who died- He is in Planet of the Spiders, and Invasion of the Dinosaurs.  I watched the latest episode of Dr Who. The Church on Ruby Road , I was a touch unimpressed. I may do a rewatch My brother and I watched Limbo.

Christmas 2023

 Firstly my compliments to any readers It was quite hectic but not as expensive as I feared I left work late on Friday. I did not feel so great- a bit groggy a bit frazzled. I walked home, I had to stop off to buy batteries. I napped for a bit. I woke up late, and tried to settle Saturday  I met my friends Christoper and Rebecca and their children. I arranged to meet them in Central London. They go to Covent Garden, where the lady came to town as a child and teen. Invited to a quick bite, we got the central line to White City  and then to Loftus Road  The game disappointed all though our seats did not. We had an excellent view of the game.  Southampton beat QPR 1-0  Southhampton were a more physical side. QPR's lack of a centre forward shows. It is the same problem I remember from the 1990s- The Dichico and Gallen days- If there is no forward there is no threat to the opposition. Equally with no forward that does not free up our second line, of Chair, and D...

Mrs Carmen Tamariz

  My mother in law, my daughter's beloved grandmother, has died in Lima She was 76 years old  She is mourned by her two daughters, and surviving son, and many grandchildren in Peru and abroad She was a complicated person. She was born in the North of Peru, she grew up in a hotel.  She remembers children crying outside and being told to ignore it. She hated the noise of crying children since then.  She was then sold to the local mayor and ran away to Lima.  Where she met my father in law. Who sold his Cadillac to buy her a ring, She loved my daughter, always brought her something- even if just a banana  She brought us once a beautiful parrot from the jungle of Peru, which sadly we could not keep She cooked for us often. She liked a drop of whiskey, even if she suffered from diabetes One day, we were told to turn off the computer and TV. My daughter went into an autistic  meltdown refusing to sleep for hours. Carmen, blessed my daughter, and lit some pie...
