memorial day


(the dark spots are from the rain)

it's memorial day. for the last couple of weeks there have been these lovely spots of colour on everybody's clothes. the front page of the paper says:

"since world war 1 more than 100 wars and civil conflicts have been fought. 160,000,000 have died."


bit of a blah day. wandering round buying milk and light bulbs and moping. it is cold and grey and wet and starting to get dark now. it's 3.30pm. there's a lot of work i should be doing.

i'm studying, really. . .

in some ways there's more acknowledgement that there is a rest-of-the-world. in other ways this only extends to nth america.

australia rarely registers. you are very far away, you know.
