- Interesting rather than happy…. I didn’t do a ‘happy’ post last week because I was away at a conference in Montreal. The theme of the conference was ‘Multiculturalism and Dialogue’ and the highlight was a lecture by Tariq Modood of Bristol University. As I was walking to catch the airport bus I encountered the demonstration in the photograph: Muslim Quebecois demanding their rights to wear headscarves. Favourite banner: “Judge me by what is in my head, not what’s on my head”. This illustrated something about the multiculturalism of Montreal but I’m not sure what.
- Coming home (even with jet lag).
- Spending this afternoon in the sunshine on race duty at Denholme Sailing Club followed by the AGM, fireworks and a pie&pea supper.
