View from Here

This is the view from my window today. It's pretty much always the view from my window but I'm especially irritated today as I'm off work and yesterday was actually pleasant and sunny. I was (insanely) hoping to go out for a walk this afternoon but I have a headache and feel a bit sick so it's probably not a good idea in the rain and wind. It is, as I type, 21C in Verona.

Well, off to Amazon for a juicer and P&P 1 and 2 on DVD as I'm about to get rid of the television set and won't be able to watch videos anymore. I don't know what to do with all the Jane Austen videos. I suppose I could email round the girls at work offering them free to good homes.

And this was the view from my window almost exactly a year ago...

I have just returned from Denver with temperatures of 68F and above every afternoon to this...

... and yet I have to keep explaining to people why I don't want to live in Edinburgh.

So far today it is too cold and too wet to leave the house. I realise I need to do it some time as I have nothing to eat, no more green tea and desperately need some of my 10,000 steps but it is not a pleasant prospect. On Wednesday in Denver I did 13,403 steps without even realising it. Everything is so much easier when the sun shines.
