Pink shirts over Lofus road. Pink Skies ahead

  I really wanted to see this game. I missed the last match against Preston North End.  Queens Park Rangers had scrambled out of the relegation zone. They were still not yet secure. I kept looking at the Championship table and checking the fixtures.  Friday's match against Leeds would set the tone. Leeds were in a strong second place in the Championship. If they won, they would secure second place and automatic promotion to the premiership So the top and bottom clashed at Loftus road.  Alas Tickets were rarer then the Tasmanian Tiger. I also missed out on a chance to see Harlequins play at Twickenam .  So I settled for Sky, I had thought of watching the game in one of the local hostelries -I decided not too.  I placed a small bet on the match and I am glad I did. Leeds had been bloodied by Middleborough earlier in the week.  Equally they had one of most formidable strikers in the championship in Summerville.  QPR are soft on corners.

So long Shogun

I am not one for things Japanese. I am not animated by anime. I have watched some, I enjoyed some. Indeed I remember watching seemingly random episodes on 4 later in the 1990s  Anime I don't seek it out. As with Sushi, I would be would be happy to eat it. I don't seek it out I could see the chatter and cheer  about Shogun on twitter and I  decided to give Shogun a whirl. I suppose I was wearied of viewing nothing produced before 1990 So Disney via FX has made another adaption of the James Clavell novel Shogun I did like the opening credits. I remember the Japanese Garden being tended by Jake the Rake in Kew  I enjoyed Shogun.  The gait of the actresses reminds you that they are actually wearing traditional Japanese clothing. The bald haircuts.  I liked Cosmo Jarvis. I thought for  a few moments it was Matt Smith - I suspect Smith was the first choice. I got used to Jarvis very quickly. Jarvis does remind me of a young Michael York.  Watching Shogun felt like being back in Glasg

  Well I would like to thank the staff of  Cayetano Heredia National Hospital For looking after my daughter for the last 10 days  My daughter jumped or fell of the first floor off her home in Lima. On Friday 5 of April She had been with her mother, collecting dry clothes of the washing line. When she jumped.  I have seen my daughter try to jump several meters before.  My daughter made the jump but bruised her arm -quite badly. This brusing and inflamation caused convulsions - My daughter entered a state of stupor. She recovered on Wednesday, and after a slight complication caused by a fever. She returned home Monday evening

A very exciting game. I was pleased to attend with my brother. There were some great pyrotechnics to begin with. I greeted the crowd as Caesar did the crowd in the Ampitheatre/ Lots of kilts in crowd The Match was hard played. Both sides game with in a hairs breadth of victory
