Marx - and mutts

Today we went on a walking tour of Karl Marx in London - his ideas and where he lived.  As usual, walking tour guides in London are very entertaining.  Heiko Khoo was no different.  We were treated to the ideas of Marx, his analysis of capitalism, and jokes and humour.


This is where Marx lived, complete with a blue plaque.


and a hairdressing salon - but no relation.  The three volumes of Das Kapital used to guide business  were a shaggy dog story.

And talking of dogs, some have it better than humans - this one had a Louis Vuitton carry pack.  Wonder what Marx would have made of that?

We caught up with Anne (aka "Arne" in London) and among other things,  further discussed Brexit.

The weather is very changeable.  It can rain and then be sunny all in the one day.  This evening it was cool and windy.

Tomorrow we have to move to another unit, then will go to Canterbury for the day.  We stay in London till Thursday, when we go to Leicester for 5 days.  We have figured out that we can live stream ABC raido for election news, but not television.  We have set aside Saturday morning from 9am (here) to listen to the results.
