Day eleven on Rhodes


Tomorrow is our last full day on Rhodes. I am going to miss it. My wife and son went with me to Rhodes were we went on a city tour, had an amazing lunch. The pick up and drop off point for the tour was at the cafe, which is where we rested before and after the tour.

The heat in the town was oppressive but the sights were impressive. My son and wife shopped and on getting back I cooled off with a swim in the ocean. My daughter found a school of fish, a sea snail and a crab using my goggles.

Back at the room, my son pushed me in the pool which was appreciated as I needed to wash the salt off me while my daughter showered first.

Tomorrow the plan is to relax for our last day and I guess do some preparatory packing. While there have been annoyances staying here, overall, it has been a great holiday.

Innocent until proven guilty


 Recently, Mason Greenwood has been allowed to leave ManUre, basically because of what he did to his partner. 

It turns out that the team had wanted to keep him, but it appears that a whistleblower did the right thing and exposed this.

Based on the premise of innocent until proven guilty, he is innocent of the charges he faced. But the video that has been widely shared seems to indicate otherwise. I am glad that the right thing has been done as actions should have consequences, and if he was allowed to continue playing football for ManUre, that would have sent the wrong message to those engaging in domestic violence.
