Left the kids at home where they needed to stay after the jangling travel across from the city they loved – Lisbon. \u00a0Mei not up until after noon and then into the bath for an hour. \u00a0A pause in the onward rush to the southern hemisphere.<\/p>\n
Not really wanting to rush at all, wanting to pause in Portugal for ever …<\/p>\n
So we sped across town, past a protest – a dense circle of students, maybe 1000+, chanting, with their fists all in the air: like a ball of baitfish – no sharks, just many police, roads closed, no exits.<\/p>\n
Made it to MACB, past the many skaters out the front, all in their 20’s, which seemed a little odd and too old to be loungin’, but the sun was out.<\/p>\n
Inside. \u00a0A large group of students making their own art. \u00a0They were really, really good. \u00a0Just a touch of jealousy for their already honed lines and youth. \u00a0Josie snapped a girl with her instruments a necklace.<\/p>\n
I snapped the collections – enjoyed the work.<\/p>\n
Outside, smokers with coffee talked over\u00a0gilles deleuze and felix guattari.<\/p>\n
We paused and sped home to kids.<\/p>\n
