     week 4 Broagh

Monday 18th was warmer than previous days.

Went to Terrances house for dinner.

To Cathal McOscars in the evening for 2 hours - Cathal went on his training run in prep for the Iron Man which was due to happen next month in Cork.

Tuesday 19th - Angela drove me to Magherafelt to prearranged meet up with John Brennan ( we were at the Rainey school together in the 50s) - we spent more than an hour over a meal chatting about old times and other things. Not often you get to meet a living legend - since John retired from playing Rugby and Gaelic football he turned to managing Gaelic football teams - the records show that he won 10 county championships with 5 different clubs in counties Derry, Tyrone and Antrim  - as sporting achievements go this is up there with the best.

Went to Ardboe on 21st to my sister Marys and stayed for 4 days
