France vs Ireland
What a draw for the World Cup playoff! France in Dublin on Saturday, 14th November. Whisper… I hope to be there. Some months ago my beloved nephew and his wife very kindly asked me to baptise their newly born third child - Karina - on Saturday, 14 November in Ballinteer. That means I will be in Dublin that day. God is good.
Now for the difficulty. The return game is at Stade de France on Wednesday, 18 November. I know this a very long shot - but if anyone could point me in the direction of a pair of match tickets for that game, I will be so grateful.
Delighted all the medical tests, ‘flu injection, etc all went well and are over.
BBC Radio 4 broadcast The Choice on Tuesday, 20 October. Michael Buerke interviewed me in London on 24 June. What a pleasant man and great to meet.
Am still trying to help out at Irish College, Paris, and will be there on Sunday morning. The rumour is that the Irish Bishops have appointed a Chaplain and it will be great to welcome him.
School holidays in France on the horizon again - Toussaint.
Finally, thanks to the people who comment to me about reading this little blog.
