Keswick Blues: Monday, July 22nd

Whenever people say 'We mustn't be sentimental,' you can take it they are about to do something cruel. And if they add 'We must be realistic,' they mean they are going to make money out of it. -Brigid Brophy, writer (1929-1995) 

Hi Monika!

Glad to her that you are in Vancouver. Too bad that we are not there to meet up again. As Cora Lee mentioned, we will not be back in Vancouver until October 19th so I assume that you will probably not be there then.

At any rate, I hope you enjoy your visit. I have included Bob in this message so that you can contact him. Cheers, Patrizzio!

Pat,

    

What a splendid looking place in Keswick. Jenny just sent me the weather report from London (33 degrees). Probably a little cooler in Keswick. Make the most of it as rain is on the way. Continued very nice days here largely taken up with work around the place prior to the wedding and Jenny's arrival tomorrow. Hope Jim is feeling better - he looks OK in the photo. Ray

Down for fab breakfast, fresh fruit, (kiwi, pineapple, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries), with yogurt, Full English: egg, bacon, sausage, black pudding, mushrooms, HP Sauce, toast with fresh apricot marmalade, java fresh grapefruit juice.

Off to Keswick, Booth's for Chris for allergy pills, gum, (Extra, Spearmint), for me, then to Braithewaite and Buttermere for a walk around the lake, then to pub, (Bridge Hotel), blackcurrant cordial for me; then back to Grange via Honister Pass and the slate mine, Honister Slate Mine, at the crest of the pass, bath while Cora Lee snoozed and then out to dinner, The Pheasant, at Bassenthwaite Lake, about two miles from Keswick.

Sochi vs. Vancouver: Why This Olympic Experience Will Be Very Different

www.huffingtonpost.com

Even if Putin himself signs a decree stating that no LGBT persons will be subjected to Russia's draconian laws and that their safety will be guaranteed, boycotting the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi or pulling out completely is still the right thing to do.
