This is the fourth stanza of Yeats. "The Wild Swans At Coole"

Unwearied still, lover by lover
They paddle in the cold
Companionable streams or climb the air;
Their hearts have not grown old;
Passion or conquest, wander where they will,
Attend upon them still.

First real heavy session since my kidney removal and my prostate op. 190kg (40kg x bar). Used the x bar for less upper body stress.

A nice 30c degrees today here on Venice beach. Wondering if I packed my factor 50 in my gym bag.

Just got out of the shower after a delousing after a Twitter session. Can't believe how far down the sewer it's gone.

Fight to go ahead in December. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
I hope Paul doesn't get hurt and AJ makes a lot of money. It just seems unbelievable.

Just got the histology back from my prostate op. Good news,
everything benign.
Shocked to find that they removed 134grms of tissue, the size of a tin of tuna!
Thank you to the wonderful NHS

What a result at Murrayfield. No shame losing to a good Argentinian side but the way they lost was down to poor game management.
Losing a 20+ lead used to be a rare occurrence but now it's becoming common.
Well done the Pumas.

16 November 1931 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Jacob Sanders, was born in Schiedam.

In August 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

Terry Callier was a multi talented musician and all round humble man. He started off singing folk music and moved on to soul.
This is his imo masterpiece
It's long but worth it.

He s going to be one.of the great England background players but the greatest compliment I can pay him is that every player on the other team must be lining up to give him a smack.

Great win for England. Hope every expert who said they would never win with Ford at 10 are now going to come on and explain what went wrong. Oh and at the same time explain again why Borthwick is the wrong coach.
