- WENT THURSDAY to see THE WEIR, at Harold Pinter Theatre. My seat, Dress Circle C15, obstructed by a Pole/Pillar — but it didn’t flinch, in the latter half, when an actor shouted the Germans were coming! 😂 Great cast.

- #lwf25 Planning to attend this annual event. Namely for Garnacha, Monastrell and Rioja masterclasses, sessions and international wine tastings. Only a short, walkable distance from where I live.

- In Belfast, lunch did unfold With stories & handshakes so bold No spuds on plate Yet chicken was great And venue was grand to behold. Three dozen fine tables held fast With moments & meetings that last Noticed another named Kelly Filled with food in my belly Though absence of spuds left me aghast!
- CELEBRATION of mostly European wines... A Hungarian bottle possibly outshines my Spanish, Portuguese and Argentinian favourites! Will your next toast be with artistic Campo Viejo, sweetness of Oremus, charm of Porta 6, vibrance of Tarima, tasty Terra Sagrada or New World sophistication of Trivento?
- ANNUAL GATHERING at House of Lords for alumni from University of West London. Was called Thames Valley University, when I attended back in 1990s! Just heard our Ealing based institution, rising year-on-year within academic league tables, will soon have a new medical school as well as a dental school
- LONDON CELEBRATES ST. PATRICK's DAY... The Irish spirit shone brightly at the Embassy of Ireland recently. A warm Gaelic welcome greeted guests whilst hosts raised toasts to Ireland’s heritage. Amidst the revelry, a sharply dressed gentleman, shamrock on his chest, savoured the tribute to tradition.
- BOOK GIFTS spanning genres - poetry, travel, puzzles, self-help, tech! HEANEY offers reflections, while AI anticipates how tech redefines existence. CRUISING and CAMINO both cater to my enthusiasm for travel. GEOGRAPHICAL adds twists, inviting me to challenges, while IKIGAI emphasizes life's purpose
- HARD TO BELIEVE it was over a #DecadeAgoToday!
- LONDON HOUR, ON THE HILL... At 6pm, last Bank Holiday Monday I entered another dimension! Namely, the last day of the 2024 Notting Hill Carnival, taking place near to where I lived in the mid to late eighties. But just for an hour, as being a teacher I had a couple of lessons to attend in Pimlico.
- SPOTLIGHT, yesterday... I did voiceover narration course, which included voice exercises and attendees doing individual recordings, whilst seated, in venue's soundbooth. Interesting, educational and fruitful! Photo reveals location (home of castings): 16 Garrick Street PLUS my nearly-finished latte!
