I just spoke to Daisy´s mum!!!!!!

I just spoke to Daisy´s mum!!!!!

She´s in Yorkshire! So its the same timezone for me! whoop whoop!!!!! i feel like two partos of my being have been squashed back together.... but not in a Startrek, transporter accident kind of way. more in a two pieces of playdoh pushed back together sort of way! becoming whole again but not without its own squishy gurgling noises.

Miranda (Daisy´s mum) thinks that the media has a large part to play in alot of the worlds problems... is there too much?

We giggled at the irony.

Her problems are more rooted in the world she inhabits... as you would expect...

Young people who need help but giving that help without the endless finances and resources that would make the job easy... I wouldnt even know where to start.

So she´s not a million miles away but she still has different experiences. hmmmmm.... but i was sort of coming to the conclusion that we were all basically the same....

Rafael (Pablo´s dad - See!!! we´re on first name terms) said to me that despite our economic ailings, piss poor weather, whatever.... we´re not poor. not Africa poor, not Indian street child poor...

i really want to speak to someone in Africa now... just to find out....

Just because of a conversation with someone up the road in Leeds...

West Yorkshire

They have culture...

Founded in 1888, Leeds City Art Gallery now houses an impressive collection of art dating back to around 1820. The Gallery's 20th century British collection was hailed by the Times as "probably the best outside London". Spread over three floors the Gallery boasts famous Victorian paintings, a small collection of French Post-Impressionist paintings, contemporary British art and a selection of works on paper drawn from the important collection of prints, watercolours and drawings.
The Gallery also houses the Craft Shop and Design Gallery, one of the most prestigious retail outlets for contemporary craft in the North of England.

They have night life...

Leeds has arguably one of the best clubbing scenes in the country packed into a compact metropolis that defies even the most discriminating clubber not to find something to take their fancy. Whatever floats your musical boat you will find it in one of the dozens of nightclubs or hundreds of bars in the city centre. There is an abundance of mainstream clubs for those whose main objective is unabashed fun! Creation is Leeds’ largest nightclub and offers three areas of music under one roof – Commercial Dance, Cheesy Chart and RnB. The same three genres are executed across 3 floors at Heaven and Hell in the Grand Arcade. Majestyk in City Square is in a similar vein, but the club is one large space as opposed to several rooms. Bondi Beach and Baja Beach Club are both beach themed venues where the music has been imported from a Dairylea factory (pure cheese) and the staff bounce around in bikinis. Check out Bondi to experience the city’s only revolving dance floor although getting off is not always easy after a few alco-pops too many!

and the means to create a night life
