it was a beautiful day here, especially in the afternoon. it feels the the city is waking up, and happily hopping out of bed, after a much too long sleep. people are sitting out in bar terraces in the late afternoon sun, and on my street a guy was strumming his guitar up on his balcony serenading the passersby. i wish you were here and i had no papers to write and we could just wander the city. but at least i can sit at my desk with the window cracked open and the sun streaming in.
