After English class, five students,

the director of Cuci Fine Arts, and

I walk to Cong Caphe, on Trang Tien

Street and order coffee and teas.

We sit on the second floor at an old, cracked

rustic table and relax, and I enjoy listening to

their Vietnamese with its many inflections and tones

and get to focus (not knowing the language) on their

faces and all they express. They fill me in, sharing

with their English, and it's nice to sit together in the shady

breeze with all of the sounds of the street below. I look around

and see another artist sitting with his laptop who I recognize

from Facebook (but have never met) and we talk about him awhile.

The cafe echoes nostalgic, a parody?, kitsch?, hearkening

back to the sixties and seventies, stark, bunker-like decor,

cute young servers wearing green military-style uniforms

with red stars. An homage? Over the bar, red plastic pales

hang upside down, lantern shades, emanating a warm glow.

After the cafe, two of my students, Quach Bac and Le Thuy,

take me to The Blue Gallery, nestled in the midst of high end

shopping, not far from Prada. They show me their accomplished

work and it's cool that I can take their photos with their paintings.

Then we go to The Exhibition House on Ngo Quyen Street and

go up to the second floor filled with large paintings of flowers.

The artist, Nguyen Thi Lan Huong, is sitting in the gallery and

we sit with her. She pours us her homemade rice wine and

an apple-and-honey infused red wine. We imbibe several

small, delicious cups together and chat, relaxing and being.

It's dusk now as I head for home, and I enjoy the nice warm

feeling inside of having been around these artists this afternoon.

Class 47 no 47975 hauls 323201 through Rugby on 18 February 1993. I think this was the first time I had seen a Class 323 and I'm not sure now what this working was, or where the unit was heading. According to Wikipedia the first 323 "finally entered revenue-earning service on 7 February 1994."

47975 was originally D1723, built by Brush Traction in 1964. It was allocated 47132, but this number was never carried and it was renumbered to 47540 in October 1974. It was renumbered in the Departmental series as 47975 between August 1990 and December 1995, when it reverted to 47540. It was withdrawn in May 1998 and was, for a while, preserved at the Wensleydale Railway, but was scrapped at TJ Thomson of Stockton in April 2016.

Preserved Brush Type 2 Class 31 A1A-A1A diesel locomotive 31438 at North Weald Station on the heritage Epping Ongar Railway (EOR) in Essex (UK).

31438 was built by Brush at the Falcon Works Loughborough and entered service as British Railways D5557 on October 15th 1959 with withdrawal as British Rail 31438 in September 1995.

'A1A-A1A' means there are two bogies under the locomotive. Each bogie has two powered axles and one freewheeling axle. In A1A bogies the idle axle is alway the centre axle connected wheels.

Not to be confused with the similar looking 6 wheeled Co-Co bogies which all the axles are driven.

Absolutely adore Class 31's. Cut my young trainspotting teeth spotting these at Chelmsford station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the late 1970s.

The Hornet-class interceptor is designed for use in rapid strikes. The pilots often work together to swarm a small group of enemy fighters, using their light cannons to bring down a target's shield (Often in less than a second with a large swarm) and then hitting it with their large gun until it explodes. The fighter is also capable of defending itself on it's own in a dogfight, and it's precision targeting computer and heavy gun make it useful for bombing attacks.
