Yesterday’s Blue 💙 (last chance before Storm Claudia hits) and whatever the fuck this is. Looks like they blew the whole Christmas lights budget on tram toldos. Seriously, at the END of August this year the city council put up street awnings over the Avenida de la Constitución (now taken down), costing over 300,000 euros, that only covered the tram line… NOT WHERE THE PEDESTRIANS WALK. Duh. And now we get this sad excuse for Christmas lights, which will probably get blown away over the next few days (we’re on orange alert for wind and storms). Also… spot the willy! 😉

Honestly, at the risk of sounding like one of the four Yorkshire men, when I were a lass I often used to have to walk to school in waist-deep snow. We just bundled up and donned our mukluks. Photos of the Juno afflicted areas look like regular winter days in the places I grew up. Of course, I’d hate it now, but hey, that’s why I live here.

It’s called “almost that blue” because we’d just missed the moment when the sky is the colour shown in yesterday’s pics. For about ten minutes every night the sky turns the most fabulous blue just before the sun sets…
