Perspectives

I am insanely jealous of my daughter. In Istanbul she and her friends had breakfast outdoors in 16 degrees and with a blue sky overhead. This rankles, given that in Munich the temperature has not risen above zero for a good few days.

However I think I may have found the comforter I'll need for the next chilly winter. My current cold weather coat is down-filled but it is also as old as my daughter! Now I reckon that in the one shown below I will be the coolest (warmest!) seventy-three-year-old kid on the block.
