Sinister: sun, sea and sadness

[Rachel Playforth]

i just got back from holiday last night; it felt like bad timing but what
can you do?  security at gatwick last thursday was mega, and i was glad.  i
don't suppose a croatia airlines flight to dubrovnik would be a prime target
for hijackers, but still.

it was a beautiful place.  i think matt and i felt extra lucky to be there
and to have each other. an american couple came into our hotel to watch cnn
as they couldn't get it at theirs, and i thought how difficult it must have
been to be so far away from their own country at such a time (although
obviously it kept them safe.)

today in the co-op a stupid man was talking about refugees: 'taking our jobs
and scrounging, i'd round them up and shoot them, i really would'.  he was
totally serious and i thought - haven't people learned anything, won't
people ever stop hating?

well, all of you who saw b&s in the states and canada - you were blessed
with a rare hour or so of beauty, and it's just struck me again how the
amazing people on sinister are a special bonus for loving this band.

kisses to all,

archel xxx
