In winter, when it’s cold here, which is about -5 degrees Celsius (Northern people, beware, I can hear your laughter), my eyes start to shed tears. When I was a child, -8 was usual, but everything ‘s changed. I’ve even experienced -20 twice in my lifetime. But, you see, I ‘m not the only one to cry.

(In Explore, 4/2/24) Nowadays you can see bicycles in the most unusual places. I’ve seen them chained to a terrace outside very old flats, and even one in the upper window of a very old house. I’d never seen one as part of the street furniture, though, as if it were a statue or a public fountain. A few weeks ago I saw this huge one hanging on an arch separating two streets. Art adapting to time, I guess.

When you come back from a trip that has exceeded your expectations, you can’t help feeling that it was so wonderful that it must have been a dream. You must keep it in that box, in your brain, where you treasure the happiest moments in your life. Then, when you’re feeling down, saddened by your routine, or your personal situation is painful, you can open that box and remember those moments with a sweet nostalgia.

This is what I can see right now, while enjoying my first coffee of the day. Last night’s rain cleared the sky, with an arrow of light clouds pointing at the sea. It’s a beautiful morning.
