The Bura is in charge, cold at sea level but dry and sunny. So like before I can sunbathe on the balcony like before in my thermal vest and long johns. 09.00 this morning having coffee.

Stuck on really slow internet, and the worst part is that I have to build a website quickly too. So my work mainly is to keep looking at a spinning circle.

Horrid afternoon, heavy rain and strong winds. I am staying in.

(long story...) I spent three years flying to Las Vegas Sunday night and home Friday night....
to get to / from my gate, I had to walk past the AirTran gate - fortunately there was a belt-walkway down the middle of the terminal 'aisle' because every single Sunday / Friday there were loud arguments and frequently fist-fights and/or cops hauling off the rowdy 'passengers' - the walkway provided a physical barrier and it was reasonably effective as the drunks couldn't manage to get over the rails....
AirTran was a cut-rate airline - they overbooked _always_ and there were always people very upset at not getting home.
that problem was actually worse arriving on Sunday nights.... people had to be at work Monday morning...
Fridays it was just the usual drunk-out-of-their-mind types.
Sin City has some quite unpleasant bits one has to learn to avoid.

Writer John Le Carré died of pneumonia today. I really love his books.

I saw that. Country music singer Charlie Pride also died as well as Carry On regular Barbara Windsor.
It is 36F right now. It never got above 39F today. That's well below average for the Dallas area for this time of year. It was rainy, with 20mph winds all day, too. Good nap day.

This is a live cam of Advent in Zagreb, it has been scaled back because of Covid. We are not risking going this year. Split has more or less closed their advent celebration down. Zagreb, Ban Jelačić i Katedrala, Grad Zagreb webcam - LiveCamCroatia, Istraži Hrvatsku

Something useful, like a recipe, is long overdue. But no time until I finish my current project. At the rate I stay up late nights I might even find myself turned in to a bat some morning. On the plus side I will have wings.

This is one of those days that started very very bad. Just told that a dear friend of mine has passed last night.
Covid gave him the coupe de grace.
I’m lost in words. Heartbroken. Can’t believe this

So sorry for your loss. Much love and light for you in this time of pain
