. I do mind the freezing and pointless European winter rain.
It's unpleasant but not pointless. It is filling up the aquifers. It's also making puddles for small boys to stamp in.

Just had an email from my cousin who lives in Mexico - that for his 80th ( eeeek) birthday they are having a family reunion in early April... so... maybe.

I think I wasted money on my new Kipling travel wallet.
Nice as it is, there isn't a section for your passport, nor does it have really have places for documents or A4 width paper. There are plenty of card holder places, but who needs that?
Sigh. Too big for use at home.

We've been having a bit of a whirlwind tour of Germany since I drove up from Spain.
On the list so far has been Frankfurt, Dietzenbach, Koblenz, Eifel region, Oldenburg, Bonn and now back to a suburb of Frankfurt.
And I'm sick of the cold weather.
Too cold outside and overheated inside.

PLEASE bring the sunshine with you. And the warmth.

Our son is not far from Santa Marta currently, but up in the mountains where they can see Santa Marta but the temperature is quite a bit nicer ( think less hot) with lower humidity. He tells us it is close to perfect temperatures.

When JFK was in the White House he used to have a log fire burning in summer with the aircon on. |

When oil prices went up and Tricky Dicky was told that people couldn't afford heating he said they should wear another sweater.
