just reading and planning next to nothing kills the mood certainly in this rainy month of june, though i should avoid salty snacks (pictured). for the first time in a lifetime, i don't mind the downpour. the jubilee celebrations are almost over, the sight of camilla waving to the crowd at Buckingham Palace has never been a hallmark moment, even during the wedding of 28th April '11. anyway, stayed away from all the hoopla at the Thames or the television coverage. spent most of my time sleeping as i do every single day, channelling a lot of karl pilkington of the ricky gervais show, taking a breather from stressors. promised myself to find a project minus the huffing and puffing, that means no heavy lifting or hoovering.
i was glued to the BBC news channel for the eurozone updates. i could see how Spain succumbed to bad loans, we had an ultra-cozy train ride from Seville to Madrid in 2011 -- nice stations, excellent transport links, why not for the fourth largest economy in Europe. while in Greece, all the bars provide a little bit extra; cushy sofas, complimentary tasteful nibbles; cheaper public transport than most European countries.
there's also the sensitive issue of Syria. kofi annan's speech at the UN this afternoon contributed greatly to my snoozing. that was mainly because of tiredness, nothing to do with mr. annan's soft voice as he was uttering his speech.
