This Concludes Bratwurst Week
Stunning spring day today in London. The youngest and I went to Broadway Market, which was abuzz with cheer. The upside of mostly mediocre weather most of the time is that when a breezy, sunny, blue-skied, 21C day comes along, everyone's in a great mood. Got some flowers, some garlic-stuffed olives, 4 different salamis (duck, venison, garlic, extra-hot chorizo), and stopped by the bratwurst stand. The prices have increased to £3.80, but the sausages are still properly hefts brats -- still great value for money.
on the weather observation, the inverse corollary is also true. In Phoenix, where the weather is beautiful 8 months of the year, on a rare day when it rains, locals complain and chafe at the humidity being above 30% - "it's soooo humid" (and it'll be barely cracking 50%). The TV news channels even cover "rain events" like there's a winter blizzard approaching.
