Bruce

 Thursday Oct 23 woke at 6 and then 9.30. When  I came down the stairs and saw a man in a coat carrying Ocado bags into the kitchen so I said “Ive got 8 empty Ocado bags for you” and got them out of the cupboard. He said “Oh no I’m not from Ocado I’ve come to put in a stair rail!” “Oh good” said I “hello I’m John” and shook his hand. And it’s a great improvement especially for me.To art and still copying outlines. Hstoric service in the Sistine chapel . BBC news people would not shut up during the historic Sistine chapel service and kept on getting things wrong! Oh for Richard Dimbleby! Watch the video on Vatican media live. Great singing! BBC commentary from the Sistine chapel service “that was a reading from the Epistle to the Romans by the foreign secretary”. Some missive! Another classic 20 minutes on You tube of the cars and the outside of St Paul's and no King and Queen! I found a video from the Royal channel of part of the service from St Paul's outside the walls and royal walkabout. Aerobics. Cheltenham prayer online. Animators meeting. Henry and Dennis came and gave Henry the Egyptians book and the blue lava lamp from my study. You;re the best Grandad ever was the response. We had pizza and ice cream when Bruce arrived. His birthday tomorrow. The Tablet has published my second letter about Nostra aetate.

Friday Unacc . Liz to servers anniversary dinner which she enjoyed. To Christian Muslim Forum at Regent's Park mosque with Ibrahim Mogra, Helen Paynter, the bishop of Willesden and James Holland. Good speeches on the far right and nice dinner. Went on a bit long as table discussions were reported on. Home by 10.30.

Gibraltar

18.9.17 From Seville to Gibraltar. Quicker to walk over border waving passport. Small buses drove across aiprot runway. Europe point with view to Africa. St Michael's cave and macaques. Crowded Main Street from cruise liners. RC and Anglican cathedrals and the excellent Gibraltar museum. Ice cream. People were disappointed. To Torremelinos and big hotel balcony and beach view. Went to excellent restaurant on beach and had anchovies, prawn and avocado salad and swordfish. Much cheaper than the tour extra outing which would have cost 110E.
