What a couple of days! Yesterday I found out I'm going to be a grandad. Today I regained my rights as an EU citizen when my Irish passport dropped on the doormat. Bollocks to Brexit.

200 years ago today, on 27th Sept 1825, an event took place in the northeast of our little country that changed the world. Locomotion 1, built by George Stevenson, became the first steam locomotive to carry passengers on a public railway line between Stockton & Darlington.
Happy 200th anniversary.

A privilege to listen to the 44th President of the United States in #London last night. A man of profound intellect, decency and empathy, and a brilliant thinker and orator. Everything a proper President of the US ought to be.

Oscar Wilde's grave at Père Lachaise. Carved from a 20 tonne block of stone 'The Flying Demon Angel' was designed by Jacob Epstein after Oscar's death in 1911. Surrounded by two metre high plastic panes to prevent the traditional kissing the monument which left it covered in lipstick

Bang in the centre of town, too.

I seem to get free peanuts in most pubs/cafés I visit here. Which is excellent. Is this a thing in Paris? More of this in London, please.
