Joe, I have just unearthed the blog. It seems to have been lost in inactivity, but perhaps it is an idea worth pursuing.
I read The Scotsman on the net and have been interested in the recent spate of articles about climate change. Here in Central New South Wales we are suffering from an extreme drought. Already this year our rainfall, which is never very abundant, is about 200mms less than average. I guess we will receive rain one day and must just wait patiently. Meantime I am selling half of my cattle.
Regards,
David

My son John, wife Maha who is lEbanese & 2 grandchildren (US citizens) were on their bi-annual holiday in S Lebanon when Israel started their terror bombing. They moved to Beurout & then to the mountains when Israel started destroying Beurout. They could not contact the British Embassy so his brother Andrew, who runs a medical software company, & sister, who looks after computing in the New Royal, tried to get the Foreign Office moving. As nothing was happening a rich friend hired a bus with guards and had them driven to Aleppo Airport in Syria. They arrived yesterday & flew to Kuwait where the same friend put them up ina luxury hotel. They will fly out on Saturday.
John is an executive with Merck in Seattle & they alerted the media and local congressman so he is to be intervieved by Public Radio on his return to the US. He will probably tell of the quite outrageos destruction the Israelis are causing. We have all said the same to our MPs and find it unbelievable that Blair acts a sa poodle supporting the US view. He is apst his sellby date.

Hugh You are beating me; only 10 so far. One of the oldest is continuing the medic tradition starting this autumn.

My daughter unearthed photos I took of an anatomy lecture in (?) 1950 showing the theatre, skeleton, & lecturer teaching on the arm. I thought it could be put on here but it seems not. I cannot remember the name of the lecturer but have pixellated his face to preserve anonymity. Can email if interested.
