Administrative announcements
I am travelling for the better part of Monday – so no detailed blog. Just a few snippets to keep things going. I will compile a report on Finland at some point soon once I reflect more on what I have learned in the last week while being here. It has been a very instructive time even though every time one steps out doors the brain freezes (as well as the body). The blog will return on Tuesday (Australian time).
There will be no detailed blog today as I am travelling to Finland for the best part of today. I have posted a short video (23 minutes) of a talk I gave in July to a political group in the Blue Mountains. I have only just received it. The main blog will be back on Thursday.
There is no detailed blog today as I am travelling from Brussels to Sydney. I will resurface again on Tuesday after the long flight. When I wrote my blog on Friday documenting the austerity tour around Porto I forgot to mention a few things. This blog adds some more observations I have made of conditions in this part of the world at present.
There will be no detailed blog today as I am in the midst of inter-contintental travel, which is one of those terms from the C19th that sounds exotic but is in reality pretty awful. Somewhere in the next 24 hours I will surface and start typing again. A new blog will appear Thursday sometime. But while I am gone you can listen to some music, if you like.
Edward Elgar, who is publishing the English language version of the book – to be released in May 2015, sent me the proposed front and back covers for approval last night. You can guess what colours I like. Here they are for your (possible) interest and so you will easily recognise it when you go to the bookshop :-). Whether the German and Italian editions, which are currently in the process of translation, have the same cover will depend on whether EE will give me the rights. But it is likely that the graphic will be the same because I have the rights to that. Anyway, just three pictures in this blog.
In case you are wondering why there is no update to my blog today – the answer is that I am travelling all day.
