Chocolates.

Alisdair Morgan
 Some of you may remember the young New Zealand man , Alisdair Morgan , who was at the UN with me late last month. When he left he very kindly gave me a very large box of chocolates that he purchased in Macey's .

These chocolates sat on my desk for many days , and I strongly resisted opening them. I knew if I did , I would scoff down the lot in short order. So I resolved to carry them back to Scotland and donate them to Broken Chains.

So last Sunday around 40 people got to have a chocolate each. I just had a couple myself.

On Thursday evening I will be speaking at our SPUC Glasgow office concerning my work at the UN.

On Saturday my wife and I are heading to Bradford to see our daughter and son-in-law. Then on Sunday I train down to London for a few meetings for work.

This week at the UN

The weather has been VERY cold this week at the UN . Some days the whole place has been shut down as snow has blocked streets and freeways.

I noticed these nice icicles under some steps at the UN and thought that this was a beautiful sculpture , made by the Lord.

While having lunch with my boss in the delegates dining room  I notice three Russian delegates that I know. They
 were not put off by a little snow.
And they agreed for a photo.

We had some good meetings this week
and my boss was happy with my work.



I fly home today to Scotland tonight.
