The boring part of my life once I have removed photography, outdoor activities and IT ;)

The Night Run
An old friend from Paris came for a visit; it was a very fortunate last minute decision! As he arrived, he noticed there was something going on – I told him about the marathon which seemed a good surprise.
Despite a shower during the evening, the weather was nice so we had some urban walk through the city without being bothered by car traffic, looked for street art, encouraged the runners and enjoyed the drums playing around everywhere. Then we had dinner at el compañero where we shared a plate of tapas with some fajitas. Later on we went back to the show, walked, idled in the parks, while talking and taking pictures and videos.

When we got back home, we talked about geek stuff until 4:30 in the morning.
Stupid lamp
It doesn’t switch on automatically, it doesn’t respond when I talk to it. And there’s even something worse, it needs to be fixed as the live wire is weak – it’s on my TODO list for a least a year so I’ve put a sign under it.
What about avian flu?
I have the feeling that many people worry about avian flu spread over Europe on wild birds. People stopped buying chicken (veggie rox!); these animals are now in-jailed… (this is what we hear on the news)
What they never tell us something scarier – though I do not know if this is fiction, speculation, nightmare, or whatever – what would happen if, for example, a pigeon in a city like Venice is H5N1 positive?
It’s 5:00AM; why an I typing this instead of sleeping?
