Slippage

The state of the world most perturbs Cornelius - and he’s drawn me back into following it all too closely. The Rest is Politics, and the News Agents are good podcasts, but the daily cut and thrust of current affairs does nothing positive for my frame of mind. On

"And another thing..."

Good old Europe, a melting pot of cultures stuffed with delicious food and ferocious fire water. A place so scarred by war that it’s inconceivable the same mistakes would be made again.

Negroni Time

So, Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, whatever your preference. I hope that everyone gets some well-earned rest. Eat, drink and be merry.
