now where to start ~

there is so much happening here while there is nothing happening. okay that's not true. there was something happening yesterday, something extraordinary:

there was RAIN. in the late afternoon, the forecasted clouds finally arrived, darkened the sky, and started to growl. the good thing was that Ronnie was already back from his bike tour, and i was back from my photo tour, and so we were sitting on the terrace when the weather show began.

we didn't stay outside too long though.. when the wind got heavy, we moved inside, to watch the water pouring down on the earth, to hear it drumming down on the roof of our bungalow. the luxury of sitting inside, while it is drizzling outside.

more luxury coming from the rain: reading in the bed during daytime. quoting lines to each other. it's 1984 from George Orwell that i read, a book about the changing of reality through changing words. Orwell wrote it 1948, but the story doesn't feel like it. i came across it a week ago, when i went to get some last stuff for our holiday. it's out of a special series, reprinted books in paperback that cost 4 Euro. "Sparbuch" the series is called, a word game, "Sparen" = saving money and Buch = book. but a Sparbuch is also a bank savings book.

smile.

now how did i get here?

i wanted to write about something completely different in this mail. about the wind, the changing of the weather.. about the pictures taken, and the Mallorca travelogue..

..which is already online now that i put this pages online.
