Yesterday was Ella's birthday, but as I don't post on Wednesdays, I have to be content with a Happy Belated Birthday, Ella!
Yesterday was a bad day all around. A friend died in the morning. She had been sick a long while, but I had come to think of her as Superwoman surviving against all odds.

In the fog, I could only see the golfers closest to me. The others were mere outlines. When I crossed the bridge over the river, the houses along its banks were barely visible. It started to rain a bit as I turned onto my street. As I was driving home, I saw a car with only one lit headlight and right away I said padiddle [...]
