    Nothing has changed, life will go on as normal, just desperate Peronists grasping at any scraw they can get hold of, in 20 years time the Falklands will be a thriving independent country,

    Of course they have the right to self-determination. They just can't force us to live with them.

    Good to hear your generosity of self-determination for our neighbors.

    Meanwhile we are anticipating another wonderful snowfall here in the Andes.

    Truly wonderful news for everyone!

    Amazing what counts as a ‘Victory’ in Argentina these days.

    Although I suppose when you live in a country where if you have less than 100% inflation and poverty is below 40%, it counts as a good day, you have to be optimistic about things.

    Next they will be issuing ‘Malvinas residence permits’, never mind that they are not valid anywhere in this world.

    Enjoyed your Billy Bragg video, including the addition of Allende along with the other evil leftist bastards of World.

    Madame is currently preparing one of our favorite dishes as we are living a great time here.

    ‘Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards’ seems somehow appropriate for Argentina.

    I like the lines, ‘Dr. Robert Oppenheimer's optimism fell at the first hurdle’ and ‘start your own revolution and cut out the middleman’.

    Although not a supporter of Mr Bragg’s politics, I do like the music and the social comment.

    Enjoy.

    It was just some alcoholics voicing their own drunken ideas.

    “A spokesperson for the European External Action Service – the EU’s diplomatic service – subsequently said the bloc had not changed its views on the disputed archipelago as there had been no mandate from the council of member states.”

    I hadn't heard of Billy Bragg until today, but that's not unusual as I rarely listen to that type of music.

    As I've mentioned several times, we greatly enjoy the music and culture of our Argentine neighbors, but cannot fathom their hardheaded stubborn political fantasy's regarding the Falklands.

    By the way, our attached recipe was prepared two weeks ago and defrosted yesterday. Pastel de Choclo is Chilean Criolla cuisine, that's perfect for our family this evening.

    Best wishes!
