Woke up this morning to the sound of trains singing to me. In low bass tones. Really thought someone had snuck into the house and put some kind of john coltrane meets tom waits experimental music on.

Got up at 7am to call Australia, and thought:
'What is this strange liquid gold flowing through the window?
My god, SUNSHINE!'

Yes, that's how bereft summer has been of the big yellow ball lately.
At least in my part of the world.

Feeling pretty damn pleased with myself, have managed to assemble some short, coherent, structured writing pieces for a travel gig. Nice work, if I do say so myself. Had an email from the editor this morning, saying 'You're famous already! Blog got picked up' by an indymedia site. Enjoy the thought of all these people taking a cycle through the industrial port area of town, and visiting the Walrus in Bos en Lommer.

Now for my next trick....

Some culturally and critically engaged words on artists in transit; love and travel; and something else I have temporarily forgotten. Oh yeah, that's right, the bridge project.

Funny how it slips the mind, the elephant in the room.

Apparently my Sybilline moment is over, all the signs were misinterpreted and I am again wandering lonely as a daffodil.

Big Sigh.

Oh well, at least the professional side of life seems to be going somewhere. Here's to free-form improvisational travel writing.
