I open this week's post with a photo of my current read, and below, a six-word quote from Albert Camus, whose work, i love reading.
'There is no sun without shadow'
As ever, people will read different messages from such quotes. Personally, I read it as a simple message that there will always be a negative aspect of something considered to be positive. It may be hidden, but will exist.
If you are not new to this blog, or indeed myself, you will understand that I love my coffee.
My weekend nights involve time dedicated to my Bialetti! It is too big for one person, so I keep the second half, to consume cold in the following morning.
My Bialetti ‘Espresso Macchiato Freddo'!

Vorrei un cafe SENZA ZUCCA, SEMPRE!
Wednesday, I visited '2 Love Tea and Coffee' in Clapham Junction (http://independentcoffeeshops.blogspot.co.uk/p/2good.html). Amazing shop. I felt relaxed enough to type the section below. However, I also noticed that I was on part of a road which introduces successfully, a 'curbless' pavement. It may sound crazy, but as a wheelchair user, I found this to be so incredibly liberating! I don't really know why, but I think it was the fact that I seemed to have more similar abilities to a fully able-pedestrian. I didn't, but i could cross the road whenever needed. No curb keeping me stuck until i reached the next opportunity. Wisely labelled and sign-posted, with shallow gutters on either side, I don't know why this system is not more widely introduced.

I type this note on Wednesday (even though this week's post will be published on Friday, after the General Election). I am scared pre-election. Please be warned, I don't mince my words!

This country has decided to support the 'ultra right-wing' in a nationwide referendum. This country seems to be masochistic, electing a right-wing government in 2015, AND leaving Europe. However, I am lucky enough to live in a democracy, I shouldn't complain. A democracy can be unbalanced by the media, but essentially it is still a democracy in which all votes are counted. A democracy, but not really. The government is going to be left or right. Unfortunately there are bigger problems facing the entire human race, other than tax ratings. We have taken too much from this world, without paying back. I fear that we maybe awaiting a global, natural disaster before people force their governments to take notice. Until then, people everywhere, are happy to live in massive ignorance! I find it abhorrent that people as introspective as Mr Trump, are voted to lead a democracy. Such power he triumphantly parades, yet he has no power against nature. Why do we accept this? Oh, because our 'strong and stable' prime minister acts like his pet dog! I cannot handle five more years of this. This election will not affect our country alone. We must stand beside Macron of France, up against Trump’s dangerous, greedy, ignorant decisions.
Just a warning, if you think you live in a open democracy ...
Prime minister, Theresa May has NEVER won a General Election!
