I remember like it was yesterday that it was recently not now but that was a lot longer ago than I recall.  •  What is going on? It is a moving day for someone I know and I am lending a hand so a half day. It is also a double party evening. It's been so long since one of them came a long I can't …

Another in the BBC photo series of how and where people live. I quite like these and now know what I have in common with ry, Gary and the Flea. We are all sooth moothers.

The BBC has an interesting set of photos on a German anarchist living in a squat in London:  •  “Jan does not claim benefits and describes himself as a micro-entrepreneur. "Some anarchists are really radical and don’t want money, but they are on the dole. I say, 'How can you do that when you are …

I failed to mention that when we left our hotel Monday morning we walked straight into Jane Pitfield campaigning for Mayor and had a very pleasant conversation for a couple of minutes on the sidewalk at the corner of King and Yonge as commuters and actual voters raced around us. She invited us to …
