Feeding the Seagulls by the Mediterranean Sea

When you walk by the sea you see Mediterranean cats. They like to stay on the rocks sometimes. These were by the sea in Denia, Spain.

With global warming the idea that we would get white Christmas, with snow, freezing weather and more is outdated. In the 21st century the opposite is true. We will probably get grey and rainy weather instead. If we stay in Switzerland. I used to love the idea of snowy Christmas, snowboarding and skiing but I don’t like the modern global warming version, of a boring cold, with no snow.

That’s why it makes sense to migrate south, for a week or two and see the sun. It’s not that I miss the sun, after all I see it all the time in Switzerland due to the drought that has now lasted several years. I like rain. I would prefer to be in rainy Switzerland than in the sun. Pandemic solitude has made me long for bad weather and rain, because good weather, when you’re walking around in circles doesn’t matter.

Sometimes you look out to see and see amusing situations. Plenty of blue in this image.

Life and the pandemic continue. Two swimmers about to start their daily swim.

The pandemic continues and our routines continue

We are not all in snowy landscapes. Some of us are by the Mediterranean Sea. some of us are not parents of children so we can skip the holiday. Maybe next year I will have a reason to value it, but not for now.
