The summer of discontent

to the next, originally uploaded by Wildebeast1.

Last weekend I found myself walking through London Fields, Hackney real early at 7am.

I had had two nightmare’s. In one my friends and I were trying to escape from a war zone. The other one was just bizarre. Anyway, I was wide awake, got up and went for a walk.

It was clear it was to be a gorgeous day.

I thought I’d be alone. Europeans, unlike South Africans are late risers. But to my surprise I heard singing – quite good female singing – by the park goal posts.

There I found Roni & Linn. Singing & drinking their hearts out. Linn had just lost her job, like many other Londoners.

But “there’s more important things in life than money” she said.

    I doubt they would be singing if there wasn’t the safety net of dole to fall back on.
