The vampire is out today. I shall once more venture to the surgery
to have some blood taken. Next week I’m due for my next dose of chemo. I’m just
hoping this time the needle doesn’t break in my arm as it did last time.
My mind is still revolving around some of the ideas explored in
today’s “Start the Week” on BBC Radio4. I hadn’t acknowledged the fact it is 50
years since 1968 & the riots there, followed by the Dubček uprising in
Czechoslovakia. In the States there were anti-Vietnam protests as well as those
for civil rights both for black people & for women. It was a time of
unrest.
1968 saw the Fox in Paris. He was a student at the time, just
visiting on holiday. He still remembers the scents & sounds of the protests
there. The first time we went to Paris together, many years later, he certainly
gained a certain respect when he said the last time he’d been in Paris was in
May 1968.
