Had a brilliant evening last night. Good food, good wine and good company. Thank you Rav and Wendy for a lovely meal. Rav your Chicken curry was, as usual, fabulous. Wendy that beautifully light crumble was the perfect finisher to the meal.
I’m Still Stuffed !!!

The F1 season has launched with a cracking opener in Melbourne. Only 8 laps and there have been a number of contacts between the cars, several overtaking attempts. Shaping up to be a good race.

The link below is to an article in which the death is reported, of Admiral Byng. He was executed on this day in 1757.
Byng appears to have been executed to cover up the Admiralty’s incompetence in providing him with an inadequate fleet to relieve Minorca
I draw a parallel here with our current circumstances surrounding the Falkland Islands. Argentina is again stirring up over their claim to the Falklands. Should they, once again, decide to attack the islands we will be in no position to protect the islanders.
We have no active carriers, and no Harriers even if we did have. The RAF cannot provide support to that area of the world it is just too far, well beyond the range of any military aircraft. The Army and Marines would be terribly exposed without air cover.
So I ask …. Would the fate, that befell Admiral Byng, fall upon David Cameron and his government should we fail to relieve the Falkland Islands if Argentina was to attack again ?
‘The fatal volley went off in an instant. Five bullets struck Byng. The sixth passed over his head. He fell forward stone dead.’
Perhaps, if that punishment were an option, Cameron and his government might take a different view of our nations protection.
Execution of admiral was cover-up – Remember When – The News.
Long time drummer for American rock band, the Doobie Brothers, Michael Hossack has died.
Doobie Brothers Drummer Michael Hossack Has Died.
Hossack performed with the band from the early 70’s right up until recently. He was an important contributor on all their major releases including probably their most famous hits “Listen To The Music” , “Black Music” and of course “Long Train Running”.
As a tribute, why not take a listen to the live versions below.
Any accident is a tragedy but with so many children killed and injured it is more difficult to come to terms with.
My thoughts are with the friends and families of the victims of the Swiss coach crash.
Today is being celebrated by our family on two sides of Planet Earth.
Here in the UK it is my Aunty Kathy’s 90th Birthday. We had a celebratory gathering on Sunday but I know Kathy is out with her daughter today. Hope she has a lovely day…..
Also celebrating today, way down under, in the antipodes is Caitlin. Living down in Perth, W.A. Although we cannot be there to help her celebrate we are thinking of her. Here’s hoping she also has a lovely day ….
