Foggy

Today it isn't the blinds that keep me from seeing the Rijksmuseum, it's the fog. I can't even see Carré, which is less than 100 metres from where I am and not a small building. It felt lovely and wintery this morning cycling through the park. I was surrounded by this thick mist, and I felt the cold through my coat on my skin. I like winter mornings like that, but this morning didn't have the usual winter quiet. I could hear the woodpecker in the park, along with some of
the other park birds, getting ready to start breeding, and making a lot of fuss about it. A few years ago a woodpecker had a nest in a tree very close to my house and going back home from work I could see the young demanding their food.
