I'd like to do a Friday happy dance; you know, end of the working week, time for the weekend. But no, not quite, both days of this coming weekend are taken up with work commitments...but more of that later.
So it was to be another day in the office (amazing how such a wonderful view on the world can draw you in to 'work' every day...) and then on the way home, with a colleague, I opted to call in on the protests around the Japanese Parliament building (for research purposes, of course dear reader).
The protests around parliament are increasing but I'm particularly interested in the anti-nuclear groupings which have gathered weekly, every Friday, for the past five years, in the wake of the Fukushima disaster.

Their tent was burned down at one stage, the police presence has increased dramatically, but they continue to gather, and begin their protests at precisely 6.00pm. Got hand it to them, they're a resilient bunch.
