I was part of a discussion panel on ‘Seven Days’, BBC Radio Ulster this afternoon. We did some fluffy topics, like what do you do when the boss is off on hols and what would you like to find in your attic (the head of Alfredo Garcia?). But two topics were interesting – the Catholic […]

West Belfast Talks Back
As I’ve been doing for the last ten years approximately, I went to West Belfast Talks Back at the Feile An Phobail last Wednesday. I was a little late getting there and all of the audience was in place. At the door of the hall the chairman – William Crawley of BBC fame – stood, […]

Arrivederci (almost)
SUNDAY 26 JULY 2009 This morning I got Francesca to run me off a copy of our boarding passes for tomorrow. This involved getting her laptop up from the basement, and shortly afterwards getting Her Chap (tall, youthful, pleasant) to help get it going and then printed off.

Il Duomo and Strangers on a Train 2
Before leaving this morning we did a very short visit to the Duomo – Milan Cathedral to you and me. We’d been there before but I’m afraid it’s melted into the mass of churches I’ve visited in Rome and Florence and God knows where. At the same time I don’t know how I forgot it, […]
Strangers on a train to Milan
THURSDAY 23 JULY 2009 We headed for an overnight in Milan, after an early breakfast by our landlady and a drive in her cut-off Merc to the station at Viareggio. It was a beautiful morning and it was almost like being given an outing as a kid – a break from the dullish but OKish […]
