Saw an excellent performance last night of

• THE B-SIDE: “NEGRO FOLKLORE FROM TEXAS STATE PRISONS” A RECORD ALBUM INTERPRETATION

at the LLiure theatre in Barna's Grec festival

A young lady in the office has just told that, after chatting with me, she's been inspired to start taking flying lessons.

So pleased for her.

I hope that she doesn't take a crash course!

Ahem, I really don't think that'll be coming over here. Seemingly the Spanish don't have a problem with the "N" word.

Why would they?

Not since it was performed (3 negros in the cast ) by an American company,the Wooster Group, started up in Philadelphia by Willem Dafoe I believe,

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Why would they?

Certainly not the despised N word is it? (All this PC stuff is difficult and tiresome to keep up with at times ,as I suspect someone involved in the Tory party leadership race might found out later today).

So Negro is one of your lots naughty words now?????
I find it’s always good to keep up with woke trends so I can be down with the kids!!

Given that the Lliure theatre (Interestingly lliure means free in Catalan) has always been a hotbed of Catalan nationalism-the simulaneous translations for yesterday's show were projected in Catalan rather than in Spanish as usual-I'm not sure that many of last night's audience would self -identify as Spanish rather than Catalan.(Not my problem since i don't identify as either).but it does perhapss give an indication of the sort of problems that Woke culture unwittingly creates for itself.

Good swim off Thorpers this lunch time. Water was almost warm.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Equally enjoyed a swim at Castelldefels.Water certainly was warm.Someone even found a jellyfish.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Wife and daughter away so took my son for a doner so there was no washing up to do.

A right of passage.

Off to a wedding today, the first of our baby group offspring to do so (four families still very close friends from our original post natal group at Benfleet Clinic, even though the "babies" are now 28).

Her Dad passed away suddenly last October so she's being walked up the aisle by her two brothers. It'll be an emotional day but glorious too I hope.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Ireland win the test series in New Zealand, and England win the test series in Australia, Rugby Union. Both won 2-1, resting on the third test. Experts mostly predicted a 3-0 loss for both teams before the start.

Ah experts eh!

Though it's hot, there's still a nice breeze, the next couple of days are going to be a bit too much....

Tried out a new desert recipe tonight. Strawberries halved and then marinated with a couple of table spoons of amaretto liqueur and runny honey. Give it a mix, leave it for 10 minutes then add 300 g of Greek yoghurt into a two bowls and then load the strawberry mix on top. Finish off with a sprinkling of flaked almonds and bung the bowls in the fridge for an hour. Seriously good tastes and flavours in that lot let me tell you and very refreshing in this weather.

Pretty much what I have for breakfast every morning - although sadly replacing the amaretto with oats

Part of Southend beach today. Not making me happy but I would imagine the Sea Front traders had an absolute field day.
