@VeroniqueB99 I did some business in the US many years ago and I remember someone asking me if I wanted to move to the US (actually NY State). I told them I already lived in the best place on Earth and they gave me a look of incredulity. I live in North Yorkshire in England and it's still great ... but every country has its issues, including mine.

@ObsidianUrbex It reminds me of my nana's house & I like the trestle table that powers the sewing machine by lady-power.

We have a heatwave at present in the UK so today's window is from a couple of winters past. A view over the snow filled garden from the diamond window, stained glass door reflecting in the windows. All things must pass.
Wir haben derzeit eine Hitzewelle in Großbritannien, also ist das heutige Fenster von ein paar vergangenen Wintern. Ein Blick über den Garten aus dem Diamantfenster, die Buntglastür spiegelt sich in den Fenstern. Alle Dinge müssen vergehen.

Artificial Insantity has sussed that some humans are greedy and has worked is way into finance, stock markets and has it's eyes set on the bond markets next.
We should be fearful, or (better) goaded to act to prevent another catastrophe.
Just Finished: Summit of All Fears by Jonathan Whitelaw - Quirky escapism and cosy crime.
In Progress: How to Stop Time by Matt Haig. I don't normally read books that everyone is reading but Matt has me hooked. Quite different in style and content.
