In passing

I've just been to the local pub and spent an evening watching musical acts from the western Sahara and from Syria: it's been unique, fantastic and oddly dislocating: but the main thing is it's been utterly enjoyable and celebratory. Memorably so.

It still confounds me that my local pub - literally 5 minutes walk from where I live - is becoming such an established venue on so many levels: including the more out-there levels that I'm likely to respond to. Not that, as you might imagine, I'm complaining.

I'm away til the end of the weekend, hope you have a good one too.
