Happy May Day!

One speech done, one to go. Our union was invited to speak about the right to strike at the Left Party's rally in a small town south of Gothenburg, so I went. It went well - several people came up and told me they were members, and also I led them in singing the Internationale at the end since apparently none of them were singers. They said that the singing was the best in years. *g*

Our own rally has been moved to the evening because Nazis are having a rally in another small town north of Gothenburg, and everyone wants to go there to have a counter-rally. I did not have time to get there from my speech-holding, so instead I went to a bird-watching place in the afternoon, where they have a very nice visitor's center. I sat on the upper floor on their nice soft carpet and did some stretching while looking out over the marshes full of birds. Now at the train station headed back.

I will also speak at our own rally, and sing my Swedish version of "Power in a Union" together with some other people. Will be accompanied by an amazing guitarist who listened to the song once and then just played it straight off, and beautifully too. Aaaand after that there is a party. I predict that I will be very tired tonight.

How is your day going?

(Oh, and sorry: I owe comments, and I should write up some books. Not today though.)
