On the Road

| On the road ... |
 |
| ... a bit foggy this morning. |
 |
| And half an hour later even more fascinating. |

Monochrome Monday
 |
| Oh god, there was the morning light as Dafydd ap Gwilym would whisper. Perhaps. ;-) |

Impressió, sol ixent
 |
| «Impressió, sol ixent» (Claude Monet – 1872) |
My impression at first glance: I would love to have this Monet hanging in my library.
My monetary condition doesn't allow for it, though.

Farewell serenade
 |
| At 15°C and sunshine, at midday today the first cranes circled over Seanhenge |
 |
| on their way south and delighted me with their singing. |
 |
| A wonderful concert. |

Beers & Books (402) – Three more books fitting the beer
So that I don't get bored, my library has been updated on the occasion of my attempt to orbit the sun one more time, starting today.
 |
| Two novels and an anthology with 28 stories |
 |
| And as an encore: three books that I had only wished for Christmas ;-) |

Today 532 years ago
The American who was the first to discover Columbus made a nasty discovery.
Der Amerikaner, der den Kolumbus zuerst entdeckte,
machte eine böse Entdeckung. [G 183]

4. Oktober 1582
Ah, 4th October 2024! Exactly 442 years after in 1582 the Gregorian calendar of Pope Gregory XIII was introduced in Catholic countries, which is why the 4th was immediately followed by the 15th of October.
No 5th, no 14th of October.
13th of October? So when was I born?
Maybe I wasn't born at all?
Very interesting. ;-)
