An unusual visitor

This cute bird came on my balcony yesterday. A tame bird, probably escaped from somewhere. After inspecting my flat (and my feet), he flew away after an hour. Not part of the indigenous fauna...

A weekend reflection

Boating in the Petite France area. More weekend reflections right...here.

My old desktop PC is just short off hard drive failure, blue screen of death coming up probably soon. So, this might be my last post for a while, unless I can fix it (I'm usually quite good at it) or until I buy a new device, if everything fails.
