the lights went down

this is sisi, my account is still pending so i am writing as an etc developer.

the lights are going down because they are preparing for a performance, the people are walking about, the lights go up, dim, down again. today was the second day, with the morning covering juggling once again (popular with all the ladies), a workshop that spills out into all the gaps in the schedule, official and people's own.
donna kicked off the technical day with a quick workshop on installing and using mozilla and open office, two open source applications, on windows. a step towards open source that is not too steep for anyone. (so we are hoping that it is a step lots of people choose to take...) the time keeping was smooth; linux basics then continued, little groups with more than one teacher. each group with their own teacher. trish, ursula, ivana and amaia. each one had different students, different courses, different outcomes. i saw none of them, shamelessly out buying audio cables and lots of fruit for healthy snacking. with maria driving us, showing us the city, raph and marishka filming, k cable seeking and me tea watching, and being a fruit buying controller.
the rain threatened all day and delivered, though the sun made patches on the outside steps of the REX. and if anyone is interested, crossing over to the other side of the street proves the building to be amazing on the outside too. a little castle for the small foot worn street.

sara to my left, sucking on a lolly, is in nerd mood. not asked yet what that means. a REX technician controls the aircon with a remote control.

want to write more about politics, but it seems to be a word with too much hanging on to it, so i am leaving it alone. words at the moment seem to have an undercurrent of other people's histories (for instance i will be told off for not saying herstory, but i have other connotations). i think i will leave them well enough alone and continue tomorrow, with more better life...
