From my diary of May 29th, 1985, which was my first of 66 evenings in Ireland [Killarney] "Having dinner in a restaurant I hear about the desaster in Bruxelles. One hour later entering a pub, the game still has not begun. Two hours later, the "battle" not ended, the dead bodies not yet driven away, the teams are entering the pitch. What a farce. 'The show must go on.' Without me, though. I empty my glass and walk to my B&B. At 11 p.m. I am in bed." |
Wonderful image. Bad memory.
ReplyDeleteThe following two months, while travelling through all 36 counties, I hardly read or listened to any news for the first time in many years. To my sursprise I did not suffer a second from withdrawal symptoms.
