The funeral of Rev Kanievksy has closed down the city.  The university is on zoom; Cars cannot pass here because the roads are filled with busses on their way to the mourning.   

For us all that matters is that we’re  keeping the dog happy.  He stole my pillows last night and neither of us slept – as a consequence, we’ll be walking a lot close to home this afternoon – after a morning rest…

And here I was getting ready for a full day’s work at last.  I’m hoping now for a few hours of peace.

Not that he’s a bad dog – just a young orphan abandoned by his family for a week of skiing.  And I dream of a bit of apres-ski.

turns out i’ve got a pleural infection – so apres-ski is perfect for me
