Punk, barbershop, the market, teaching

Star Hipsters
These guys rule.
Socially concious punk rock.
Check out these lyrics ...

Right men just bleed the poor
And I can't take no more
'Until We're Dead'

For me this rings bells with Chris' thoughts from the pyrotechnic drama we say at Greenbelt (totally forgotten what it was called ...). Throughout was the lament of 'Give everything you have to the poor ... Is this too much? ... Then give a tenth? ... Is this too much? Then don't steal from your poor brother ...'
Chris' thoughts were that in a sense we (in the MC West) do deprive people all over the world of their natural resources to keep us in states of luxury. I feel that 'Until We're Dead' reflects that frustration and the desire to make a change, starting with the man in the mirror if you like.

Barbershop


At the weekend Lewis and I went to a barbershop singing workshop. It was amazing! Lovely tunes and lovely people. Check out barbershop culture -- there is more to it than I thought and it is pretty cool (although less boaters that one would like). It is a good hobbie ... I'm not sure if I will 'join the club'...

Borough Market
Another weekend, anthoer AMAZING adventure! Borough Market is absolutly brilliant. Everyone is friendly, london style, which is perfectly wonderful. And free samples! Kevin and I ate so much cheese! Can't wait to go back!

Teaching
It is great. What have I learnt? Loads! I think the most important thing so far is LISTENING. This is hard, as at the moment all I can worry about is 'am I doing it right?'
We'll get there in the end, eh?

Read everyone's blogs -- they are greats!
Lots of love
