Or as the Rev. Billy C Wirtz song goes:
It takes me all night long to do what I used to do all  night long.

They were great times Stan. Yes that London Eye trip was special - I
recall it fondly. Borough Market if I recall, as well. If only I had
that energy now!

Stefan says hi. He;s working today, down in Westminster, in parliament
in amongst all the hussle and tussle of the political situation here.
Lots of live interviews and such - right up his street.

Hope you and Meg are well.

Coincidentally, I had been thinking about London. Triggered I think by
John’s question about GFM attendance. And I have been reflected on
various get-togethers over the years and across continents. London was
massive, Cotty arranged an evening (?) ride on the Eye, we did walks
through markets and art galleries… Apart from my stopping in for the
event, Gianfranco came over from Naples for the weekend (with a new
girlfriend as I recall.) Years before that I had met up with Bob,
Cotty and Cotty’s son Steph for a Saturday morning coffee in North
London someplace. I think that was the weekend where I stayed in a
hotel on that side of town, had to reroute to the airport the next day
because my intended tube station start-point had just been bombed by
IRA…
