Afternoon
No hangover for me - I'm just being lazy.

Yesterday, I went on the National Climate March, and in the evening, went to an after-party which consisted of talks, live music, performance art, stand up comedy and a disco. The talks were up-beat and positive instead of the usual doom and glooom. They were discussing a project to build large-scale solare energy plants in the Sahara desert. Despite all this, the talk by the Vegans did not convince me to give up meat.
