The Punk with a Stutter

rhythmaningThere was a bus strike in Edinburgh today – part of the public-sector unions’ day of action.
To avoid travel-hassle, I anticipated working from home – having a rather lazy day catching up on reading, a bit of writing, and no work email.
Instead, a meeting was arranged in London which I had to go to, rather changing my plans.
Going back to the airport, I was caught in a heavy hail storm. The hail was blown nearly horizontal, and when it finally fell, it bounced off the pavement; in the three minutes it took to walk from our office in London to Bank, my legs – unprotected by umbrella and coat – were soaked.
I sat in the front of the DLR train, listening to Quadraphenia – it is rather a superb album.
There was a really stunning complete rainbow, stretching an arch over the derelict Millenium Mills building by Silvertown. The colours were bright against the stormy black sky. At the end of the rainbow was a huge white liner that always seems to be in the docks there.
The Tate and Lyle factory opposite London City Airport looked like a giant Mondrian construction.
And I didn’t have my camera with me. Doh!
