spring in the air



on the bad side,spring brings
the hangjeugd out in droves

view towards the red light district

lunch

it's the bar you always find yourself sitting in
to kill time whilst waiting for a train connection .

there is one to be found near every station.

in station brussel zuid the killer goes by the
name of the pullman cafe.
some of the customers look as if they've been
waiting for weeks,arrived and never left.

for some a trip to france means nothing more
than a day trip and the opportunity to buy cheap
drink and smokes.
the french do good business catering for this
great british pastime

yours truly

our great friend turns 60 and gidionics
are glad to be a part of the celebrations....



perhaps we needed a bigger cake for all
those candles.....

M. and cosmito catch up on beer news
during a lunchtime visit to the best pub
in the area-the crown- in the village of
churchill

a return trip westside to compton....not the infamous L.A .
gangsta suburb but the north somerset village of compton martin
in the west of england.
no crack,drive bys or gangbangs-here it's scrumpy,tractors and
pub sports that split the men from the boys.

arriving at our weekend retreat we are welcomed by our generous hosts
L. and M.



away from the city-fresh air and nature-sunset brings peace

club 3voor12
dinosaur jr were one of those great guitar bands
from the mid/ late 1980s who helped mould the
sound that later evolved into grunge.
gidionics have a passion for music from this period
- when we hear that dinosaur jr have reformed
and that singer j.mascis will be performing live
we are naturally curious.
it may be 20 years later and he may have changed
from youthful sexy frontman into a big grey haired
hippy who can hardly keep it together when
interviewed.....but it doesnt matter-as soon as he
picks up the guitar the magic is there and gidionics
remember how it feels to be 18 again
looking at the other old farts in the crowd we suspect
we are not alone....
