After the anti Trump rally last night daughter came home & spent the evening making banners for today’s women’s march. While obviously not on the scale of London there was a very good turnout here.

Love Trumps Hate
On Inauguration Day daughter and I went to an anti Trump rally in Cardiff. That’s her holding the E umbrella that spelled out Love Trumps Hate.
I know a small gathering protesting about a US president is not going to have any effect. Partly I think it’s to make ourselves feel better. But also for my daughter (the youngest person there) I like to think it shows that people care and want to resist.
Anyway it was bloody freezing.
Da art
Bought myself some of da art – gone all abstract expressionism
There is a light that never goes out
I may just blip vinyl all year – today’s album, The Smiths The Queen is Dead. God I loved this album as an angst ridden teenager. Morrissey went on to become a self parody but here his lyrics were at their finest – it’s a very witty album in places despite the miserable tag.
Come on Cowboys (or Packers)
It was NFL playoff weekend and I bought a sky sports pass to watch Cowboys/Packers tonight. I saw the Cowboys in Dallas once so hence the hat. But I like the Packers. In the end the Packers won.
And yes have shaved the beard off for a trial.
Don’t stop
My latest vinyl (re)acquisition is The Stone Roses. I think this was the last time I was really obsessed by music. It’s worth having on vinyl because, as we discovered when a bit worse for wear in Kingston in 1990, if you play Don’t Stop backwards it is the preceding track, Waterfall.
Snuggling
Bruno likes to snuggle right in on my lap like a small dog & not the big clumsy, step on your private parts one that he is.
Taxi Driver
Went to see Taxi Driver at the cinema tonight, the first time I’d seen it on the big screen. My thoughts over on [url=http://edtechie.net/barracuda/classic/taxi-driver/]my film blog[/url].
Misty mountains
Well, hills really
Turntable
And here is the turntable I bought – has some ok built in speakers but connects to my Bose & sounds pretty good.
