Brexit day
And so we are there. Regret and relief. Good luck to everybody.
Leaving a trace
The baobab we planted in Niamey is going well and growing up nice and strong.
The idea to leave something so big and good behind is quite a comfort.
Our daily bread
Just baked. Made with natural yeast (pasta madre).
Preparing bread is always a satisfactory activity even if, as this time, with the help of a bread-machine.
The biker farm
A long and difficult fight had to be combatted to establish the rights of pedestrians against the excessive power of the car world.
People with bicycles joined the struggle to establish that security of bystanders was more important than traffic fluidity.
The golden rule emerged: the pedestrian is always right!
A bit emphatic but justified by the urgency of protecting the position of the weakest, and still majoritarian, actor.
But then the revolution came, creating new spaces and rights for the bikers.
And they immediately used their newly gained position to expand their area of action and relaunch the watchword that old drivers had always invoked: everything is allowed to permit a better transit of (our) vehicles.
And the fight is starting again …….
