OS SENHORES QUE MANDAM Olho e vejo a minha terra Com um olhar de menino Nasci em tempo de guerra Que marcou o meu destino. Nasci com leis de miséria Que se prolongaram no tempo E nunca pensei que teria De voltar a esse evento. A história sempre repete O lado mais negro da vida Como a roupa que se veste E nunca fica esquecida. É triste lembrar o passado Com muita dor no coração Pensando que tinha acabado O tempo de ver mesas sem pão. Há homens que deixam de ver A sua p…

When I moved here 20+ years ago the corner shop was run by an Indian couple known as Fred and Sue. I don't know how long they'd been there before that. They lived upstairs and brought up children and then grandchildren there. My daughter (now in her 30s) had her first job delivering papers for them. It was handy to pop to the corner to buy a newspaper, tobacco, milk or the occasional emergency rations; a tin of beans, eggs, loaf of bread... It wasn't really the sort of shop you'd buy much el…

I've set my home page so that immediately under this blog there's a block displaying my 'latest' album. I've also discovered that, as this simply means the album that appears first when you view the albums in the organizer, this can be any album you like as you can re-order the albums so that the one you want to display is first in the list. Which is a long-winded way of saying that if you scroll down below the blog you'll see a mosaic of my London A-Z album; a collection of London streetname s…

I have to admit I never saw the point of some of the groups that existed on flickr.

Then there were the comment groups - add one comment x - that would clutter up your comments with flashing icons and rotating gifs. "You are my winner" !flash flash ! "Your photo is AWESOME - as seen in the I've Got More Comments Than You Have group" !jigg…
