black flags

this news link from the BBC is really pleasing me, international news by headline every day if i want it...

i have no idea how i would go about getting it if i didn't already have it...

so today we have the scientific team who have been spending time in papua and finding any number of new species...

and then castro erecting a massive statue holding 138 black flags, directly in front of the US embassy in havana, in response to the US putting an electronic, scrolling sign on their building...



the people in the picture are holding pictures of those who have been killed by US violence...

if it weren't for the tragic element this would seem so much like an argument between two neighbours on a street, the husbands erecting more and more bizaare and ridiculous things in their gardens while the wives and the children look on in amazement...

the black flags though, anarchist icons, can't help but like it...

day off today and i'm taking it really slowly, the beginning of the new semester this week and it seems that i'm only at londonbridge work mondays & fridays now, with hammersmith on thursdays... a life of leisure, maybe should find a little more work but equally i should be able to achieve a fair amount of artistic stuff in this time...

yesterday i was teaching the musicianship module to the teaching students, including P who asked me to show her a little more of the bach piece after the class... teaching with J again as my apprentice, J who may end up teaching felinity's flatmate guitar, great situation, great subject, great students, great apprentice... very happy...
