These delays are out of our control. Thyrocyte from Bangkok, ThailandThis song reminds all of us that there always be some other people who are suffering more than we are. Somehow, these people can go on their lives. So, there is no use to let ourselves down. No use to waste our time moaning. We have to get up and fight for our goals to achieve whatsoever we want.

In 1861, the great journalist and social advocate Henry Mayhew published London Labour and the London Poor, an oral history of those living and working on the streets of Victorian London. Nothing on this scale had been attempted before. Usual UK delivery timescale (excluding custom prints) is between 5 and 7 working days from the date of dispatch.

We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..." The premise of the book is that the author simply talks to many of the people she sees on the streets of London and asks simple questions about who they are, what they are doing. They may be working legally or otherwise. May be rich or poor. She tries not to be judgemental but simply provide us with stories of the vast array of humankind that she encounters in her walks.Guardian review 12 June 2021: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/jun/12/let-me-take-you-by-the-hand-by-jennifer-kavanagh-review-true-tales-from-londons-streets As the government’s national archive for England, Wales and the United Kingdom, The National Archives hold over 1,000 years of the nation’s records for everyone to discover and use.

Use italics (lyric) and bold (lyric) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who In 2000, Sir Peter Hall, the doyen of urbanism, led a multi-disciplinary team of researchers to investigate the relationships between economic competitiveness and social cohesion. This was done through a combination of statistical analysis and evidence from over one hundred interviews with Londoners in their different roles, in their different neighbourhoods.But now we no longer see old men and old ladies with their world in bags they carry but young boys forced out of their lodgings and thrown onto the streets by uncaring landlords and a Westminster parliament that behaves as if they aren’t really there Eric Wyatt is a saxophonist born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He was introduced to the sax by his father Charles Wyatt, who played tenor and hung out with many of the great jazz icons: Charlie Parker, Gary Bartz, George Braith, Wilber Ware, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, and more.

This poem is truly from the heart. The thoughts are “one of a kind” and to make them rhyme is such a talent. This writer has a future in expressing his thoughts and conveying them for all to Sonny Rollins also helped Eric record his first CD for King Records (Japan) titled "God Son", with the great Al Foster on drums, Rufus Reid on bass and pianist Mark Soskin from Sonny’s band.

Interview with the Guardian, 9 June 2021: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/jun/09/i-just-want-what-everyone-else-has-what-homeless-people-told-jennifer-kavanagh-about-their-lives What shines through this wonderfully engaging book is the author’s genuine assumption that every life matters and, if we care to listen, has important things to tell us about our own.

Kavanagh’s writing too reflects a city in transition, albeit one where people are perhaps now more habituated to change. It is less policy-focused, despite finding space to advocate for micro-initiatives, such as Groundswell, which uses those with experience of homelessness to design and deliver services. Her aim is more personal: to use these stories to show you something to “ make you change your mind” and invite you into a world you most probably rush past, to ask you to take a moment and to consider the common humanity you share with all those trying to make a living on the streets of London. As a Londoner I really enjoyed this book. Not sure how interesting others would find it. It reminded me of the reasons I will always love London and also why you should avoid being judgemental with the people you meet.
