Echoes of Flavio's Ghost Dreaming

No lessons at all today. Don't know what to do with so much freedom -and so little money. Even going out for a walk is full of temptations to spend.

I did go out for a walk locally, though; managed not to buy anything. Now back home listening to various versions of the USSR anthem because -oh, I don't know, just because. Watching the lists of communist leader names with the dates of birth and death and -most of them die in the mid 1930's. I think I will be reading Bulgakov's Master and Margarita again at some point for a taste of the atmosphere of Moscow in those days, safely tucked away in distance and time.

Probably going up Parliament Hill later. It is good to have Hampstead Heath so close, even if I don't go there as often as I plan to.

At peace with the world, like this boy.
As always when I see one strange or disturbing side of human nature, immediately I feel kind of guilty and think 'gosh, I'm a tiny little bit impatient like that'. But, hey,...

Not sure why this made me think of mark13... :D

[ Edit ] That was a fantastic fun evening . Even if the singing may perhaps have been ever so slightly out of tune at times >..<.

At the Rochester, Stooke Newington, last Tuesday.
