Winter Schminter

As the post-holiday winter funk sets in and Amsterdam is awash in grey, blustery weather, some warm favourites are shown from the past 12 months to remind us that the sun does exist. Hopefully you can feel the same warmth that I do when looking at them.

Today, Malaga.

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Shhhh. Very quietly now... I'm keeping my voice down as I'm a little freaked out... I don't want the aliens to hear me.

I assume that there are aliens lurking, that is... they must have travelled via this thing, this yellowish ball in the sky, and I'm not sure what the hell it is.

I have vague recollections of having seen it before, about 4 months ago. The locals even had a name for it... something like "de zon" or "the sun", whatever that is.

Anyway, I'm off to explore this some more, and I may even venture outside without my usual armor of boots, an umbrella, and exasperation.

If I don't report back, it's because they found me, likely on a cafe bench with a crazy grin on my face.
