Monday Mural: Sleep on the Eighth Day @EighthDayVeg


This window of The Eighth Day is always innovatively creative and stops me in its tracks. 

Behind the glass in this section of the vegetarian healthfood shop and cafe is where vitamin and health expert Ursula can be found, surrounded by nutritional supplements and cruelty-free cosmetics. I  popped in the other week to have a chat with lovely Ursula, who advised me well (Biotin to help hair growth, since you ask!)...

I liked the way the reflections of the park's trees opposite blend into the photo and the owl could almost be living out there in All Saints Park. Sadly so could the sleeper- there are about a dozen homeless sleepers to be found in sleeping bags each morning along a short stretch of Oxford Road. Conservative/Lib-Dem Britain has clearly failed in so many appalling ways (unless you are the uber wealthy and greedy) and there needs to be major change locally, nationally and internationally -  now and at the May elections. That's why I am campaigning for the common good with the Green Party - the only real constructive alternative option in my view-  and standing as a Green Councillor in Salford.

My contribution to this week's Monday Mural.

  5. We have a federal election here in the fall- the change can't come soon enough.

  6. Don't know anything about things in your country, but I just saw a snippet about the "shrinking middle class" here. I doubt that means more folks are getting rich but rather the lower middle class is slipping into poverty. Great contrast in topics in this post, keep everyone thinking!
