With all the talk of lifters and leaners I wonder how many politicians and indeed members of the general public have an appreciation of what really goes in within the welfare system? I don't. I guess once upon a time I did. I know the welfare system helped my family get where we have. I know that there a many people who need a hand from time to time.

I was out late night shooting looking for subjects and found this very well cared for housing commission block. It was clean, tidy and about as inviting as such a place could be.

The lifters and leaners talk sickens me. People all over the world have very similar basic needs. I don't think there are huge swathes of society leaning. And of those sections that are, I suspect that not all of them live in places this humble...

For FGR live free or die...

and '16 things' for i've been tagged by the breathtakingly stunning and amazingly talented jezikalyn

1. i'm a dreamer... i live inside my head ALOT.. i find it much more peacefull than 'reality'.

2. I am highly spiritual though i do not believe in god.. i lean more towards the pagan way of thinking though i will not be boxed into a religious or spiritual category.

3. i believe all living things are of equal worth

4. i smoke. marlboro lights. i want to quit, but i like it.

5. i don't drive...because i'm scared to. though i need to sort it out because i have a real urge to buy a camper van and just set off.... no plan.. just leave... scrap that from 'real urge' to 'desperate ache'...

6. i love reading and am currently involved in 'an open heart' by the dalai lama

7. i do not and have never felt that i fit in with the society in which i live... i don't know where i fit, but it isnt within the confines of 9-5, mortgage, insurance, kids, car, dog, die. i desire none of those things aside from the children..

8. i am very maternal, i always have been. even as a child i could lull a baby to sleep. though i have always had a deep in the pit of my stomach fear that i am barren...

9. i have a phobia of vomiting... i will avoid it at all costs.. this means i have never touched drugs aside from pot for fear of my bodies reaction.

10. i am quite a loner. though i love being in the company of friends and tend to surround myself with people, i need time to myself.. to close up from the world and rejuvinate.

11. sometimes the 'closeness' of the way we live our lives today, with texting and email, i get chlaustrophobic and just avoid calls for days though it irritates my friends and family they understand its what i need from time to time.

12. whenever the weather permits i walk barefoot. i feel more connected to the earth and free.

13. this summer i'm considering stewarding at all the major music festivals, i have a friend who could get me in... i think it could be amazing... mud here i come.

14. i am bisexual. aside from ziad (ex) my longest standing relationship is with a woman. we were together for just over two years.

15. i adore animals and have always kept pets.. i currently have 2 guinea pigs, 'saffi' and 'pip' and cherish them..

16. i think one day i'd like to have my own plot of land where i might live off the land and keep a small holding of a few pigs, a milk cow and some chickens and live happily ever after.

so... there you have it.. 16 totally random things about me.. i will tag some more of you when i get home from work later...

oh and happy HNT :)

The best thing about this workout is that I can do it it in my small apartment at any time.

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain

We all have sorrow

But if we are wise

We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride

If I have things you need to borrow

For no one can fill those of your needs

That you don't let show

Lean on me, when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear

That you can't carry

I'm right up the road

I'll share your load

If you just call me

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'd understand

We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

Till I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

Lean on me...

.........

A strong wind blowing in from the west, caused these presenters to lean, just slightly to the right
