Into the second week

Trying to blow away all the mustiness; a fresh wind...
The old patterns stay, often a help (sometimes a drag!).
It is bitter cold, icy winds blast round the corners of the streets and hit you unexpectedly.
But very invigorating, and we just have to remember to dress warmly (happy we have the boots and bonnets needed!)
David and I are into film-watching: borrowed a video from a friend and enjoyed Amarcord one evening. Hilarious, beautiful, (Fellini).
Last night we went to see The Seventh Seal (Bergman, from 1957...). Great classic; about what life (and Death) is all about.
Like a good novel, timeless and still fresh.
I continue The Great Clean; going through boxes of stuff I brought from England, or acquired down the almost 50 years I've lived here. Throwing away piles of words no longer needed.
The house grows spacier... life grows roomier.

This is my new year's greeting taken in the summer in Berlin. Onward towards a united Europe, and hopefully a globeyer world!!
