SaigonSighs39 ‘Street life’ ‘Cause there’s no place I can go. ‘Street Life’ – It’s the only life I know! (Randy Crawford 1979).

This was 7.30 am, She’ll walk around all the shops, coffee shops, eateries and restaurants all day selling stuff that is non-essential to life and is basically cheap plastic rubbish! She’ll be happy if she makes £3.00 today. Her day will probably finish about 9, tonight.

This is ‘my corner’. A ‘retro’ coffee shop where I do all my writing and thinking! From here I can travel anywhere, meet everyone and know everything! Mind you – the ‘internet’ helps! The owner seems to be a ‘casual’ trader in ‘retro’ stuff as the pictures seem to change daily in ‘john’s corner!

Today’s picture.

Yesterday’s picture.

Don’t worry Rodney, this time next year we’ll be millionaires.”———Very possible in Vietnam where 1,000,000 Vietnam Dong is worth about £15.00

“The only way is up.” – baby, for you and me girl! Yazz and The Plastic Population – 1988. ‘Going up’ is not a good career move for these piglets!

The day before yesterday’s picture!

Money for nothing! – Dire Straights – 1985. We gotta move these refrigerators, we gotta move these colour TV’s ——- or at least their packaging!

There is a fire, down below, down below in my heart! —-Jeri Southern 1957 – Or in this case down below in my electric motorbike cum sort of sweetish /savoury bun bar.

‘Can the Can’ – Suzi Quatro 1973. This lady has just quietly dragged her cart through ‘traffic mayhem’ as she goes about surviving from day to day.

This man is always smiling and occasionally singing. He spends all day and most days on a petrol station forecourt selling lottery tickets. I buy a couple every time I fill up my motor bike, which is about once a week (£1.50 a fill-up).

And finally!

Yes! You’ve guessed it! Another picture from an obscure past.

Take care out there in Tier(ful) UK. Love and Peace J
