My daughters have been outstanding looking after me in Amsterdam the last few days ❤️

In Kenya with my daughters 15 years ago. And in Amsterdam, how they are now.

A nice place for a Sunday morning.

My daughters on safari in Kenya 15 years ago. Were we foolish to live there with young children? Definitely not.

US death row inmate Christa Pike taken to hospital after surviving two lethal injections, says lawyer www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... USA. Number 5 on the list if shame.

This suggests an element of surprise from Spurs fans that their team is losing without scoring a goal. A triumph of optimism over experience.

OECD’s programme for international student assessment (Pisa) has results (from 2025) for education attainment for 15 year olds that are really quite something for the UK (and France).

Nobody should be on Facebook. It’s even worse than I thought.

It’s been like this here since the end of May.

I’m reading this on 9/11 (25 years ago tomorrow). It’s all recollections by people who were there - going to the twin towers, taking their partners to airports then receiving calls from them that they’d been hijacked, firemen who answered the emergency, etc. Quite incredible.

The cricket. I’m allowed to do this because I’ve retired. 😊

They say consistency is important in football. So it’s good to see Spurs: 17th in each of the last two seasons and today… they are 17th.

There’s a scops owl somewhere in the trees outside my house. They are the noisiest birds, calling to other each night.

Ok so the eclipse isn’t in Greece. My (first) ex wife sent me this. TBH it just looks like a colander - apparently the BBC has said this is a safe way of seeing the eclipse effect. But I think it looks like someone holding a colander against a piece of paper in the garden. 🤷

Glad I moved to Crete where it’s 5 degrees cooler than Cheltenham. 🤷🏻

This is a nice follow up.

Ceuta is on the African mainland. It’s over 50km from Gibraltar. Unless these Moroccans are long distance swimmers, their only way of getting there is by boat. Sure the Spanish are up to stopping that 🙄

Carlos Cordeiro, Infantino’s senior advisor, in his resignation speech. Enough said

It’s just as likely that UEFA won’t join and there’ll be no World Cup with European teams. The game is crazy strong in Africa, with a strong focus on English sides aswell as local ones. I wrote a weekly column for a Kenyan newspaper for 8 years. Always got great feedback.

Polanski is a jerk for having reposted. Reform are jerks for having reported it as a death threat. Student politicians.

Argentina were a disgrace. Two shots (and none on target) in 120 minutes. Anti football. And then they started a punch up after they’d lost.

In a neat reversal of history, England defence in the World Cup Semi Final was crap after an early attack seemed to give supremacy. Just like Argentina’s invasion of the Falklands in 1982. Dan Burn as the General Belgrano.

Crete. Dinner with my daughter after her year of travel to: Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Sicily, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, China, Vietnam, Thailand. And Greece.

Think it’s nearer the North Sea tbh.

I swim here every morning. Each day for the last 2 weeks, a middle-aged bare-chested man with a London accent has walked up and down the road complaining loudly on his phone about Donald Trump. Really. So tempted to tell him: do yourself a favour, get off your phone, get in the sea, chill.
