we persist

 Despite dire weather warnings, it was a beautiful day though cold - tonight it was warm enough to sit on street benches and ponder.

I'm pondering because Toby and Leo, now in Amsterdam, have Covid -  mercifully painlessly; but they recommend that we are all tested and do the careful thing. So far all have come in negative which makes us suspect its a dutch bug but I'm thinking that I may take  a couple of days indoors just to be sure.

And to finish a picture thats giving me trouble....

So, no arts weekend for me nor girls night out tonight. We learn to live with disappointment in the expectation of living longer and earning future pleasures. Sounds like an epitaph, eh.

P.S. Lunch yesterday at Jean-Lucs Apero bar; raclette!! He has a machine that looks like a torture device that he puts on the table and heats up to melt a great round ball of cheese. As it melts it is possible to pour it onto your plate  - over potaoes/bread and/ or meat. Not just lunch but a performance and interactive artwork, yum. Added plus was that two of the towns' banks were having their christmas meals there and though that made the service slow it afforded us the pleasure of not having to behave in front of the boss. 

Great being grown-up.
