Nature's life cycle
Old poinsetta is shedding its luxurious winter leaves, but young amaryllo is budding just in time for spring.......

January woes....
Today I found the parket tiles in one corner of my living room soaking wet and buckling!! My prompt discovery and the intervention by the building staff makes it possible to at least contain the damage temporarily during this weekend. The plumbers will fix the leak (that stems from 2 floors above mine) next week. It's a big job, since my wall had to be broken into, my furniture moved, and everything parked somewhere. It's going to be a while until I can get back to normal. Unfortunately this is not the first experience of its kind in the aging building.
The funny part is the temporary arrangement waiting for final repairs: rags are tucked into the hole of the dripping wall and changed twice daily, just like diapers.....:-)) !

Snow Blizzard
The high winds are strangely blowing the snow sideways, ......I have seen many storms in the city, but don't remember ever seeing windows half covered by a thick white layer that is sticking to the glass, and not only accumulating on the window sills. Real weird scenery.

Chores
Installed a brand new LCD flat screen monitor on my desktop without a hitch. It's 19" viewing area is great, but it's spoiling me. I now find it difficult to deal with the smaller characters when I need to revert to my laptop. Lots of cleanup and backups are also a must on both machines, in addition to the annual review for archiving of business files. All real necessities, but a monotonous and boring time!

Solutions
Well....a brand new monitor is on the way, and some pictures are posted next to the travel experiences of last year (see October and November postings).
There is a solution to every problem - it's just a question of putting the mind to it!
