I spent the whole winter waiting patiently. It will come, yes it will. The snow. There’ll be one snow that lasts for more than a day, covers more than a centimetre of ground. And then we will go to take the “Sziget in winter” white, fluffy shots. Well, that snow didn’t come, so we had…
Torino My Love
Sunday morning in Turin, and I was on a casual stroll on the foggy banks of the Po, when a little old lady with the compulsory little dog swaddled in a tiny jacket walks up to me. Mind you, in Italy even the dogs wear really thick jackets in what could only be indulgently called…
Friday After the Rain
Budapest’s been lately seeing snow for hours or so- just as the English summer is half an afternoon of sunshine in June and the storm, Budapest winter is half a morning of snow in February and the rain. But at least the pavement is shiny in the evening light, if that’s any kind of consolation….

Well, nothing ever did, but I am still somehow hoping. Maybe I can organize a movie marathon this year, or listen to all the overlooked albums in one go…
So This Was Christmas
It started with Easter weather, but went on to become quite polar. The cats did not break the tree, hard as they tried, but the little one tested her first snow. The red star shone on, and I can still find a store or two that sells Christmas candles for dinosaurs like me. All in…
