Thoughtful tonight...

I sit at my desk and can see the swallows diping and diving beneath and between the trees in the park, a pause on the wing and an insect snapped up, they roll exposing white tummies, the irridescent blue along their backs glinting in the sunshine.

At the end of the street, there has been a car crash, cars backed up and reversing along the road, horns honking, people shouting, the swallows have not noticed.

There is the most wonderful scene taking place across the square.

European elections are underway, votes are being canvassed.

The scene opposite is from the 1950's or 60's - a guy on a box speaking through a megaphone, expounding his message to those visiting the market. The passion in his voice, his proniciation, is exquisite to hear. Each short speech is carefully punctuated by snatches of national tunes, or would be if the tape worked properly or they knew where each tune started.

I love this place. I have no idea what he's saying.

Any time honey, pull up a chair, I'll just pop over and get us some Angel's Breasts.
