Very clever the link to the classic image of Lewis Carroll’s Red Queen….
But, who is our Alice and, is Steve Miller the Cheshire Cat?!

For me, it was this Hong Kong style (vegetarian) clay pot rice dish today.
Rather yummy.

Just spent an evening in the Mooby Multicines Aribau in Barcelona for the 45th anniversary of the film The Blues Brothers, with live blues music before the film.
(1) a brilliant (and of course very silly) with great music, and
(2) what a party! Everyone singing and dancing! (Cont’d)

True and important.
But it is important not to lose track of the fact that wind farms can (yet) not be created or operated without fossil fuels.
For offshore wind farms, I believe the energy payback is around 2 years.

Get Trump to celebrate that all he is achieved is rollback much of what was a consequence of his own, mad tariff delusions.
Dems should call that out loudly and don’t let him get away with it.
And Xi, like Putin, played him like a 🎻.

Police arrested 5 people linked to the Louvre Heist, part of a 4-man team…
Fascinating maths!

Amic. I am Dutch and although I haven’t lived there for about 30 years, each time I visit it strikes me how many kids you can get on one bicycle.
See for instance this one that I downloaded from the interweb.

We love good food and we luckily can afford some more expensive restaurants at times (like our anniversary today).
We had superb food in the Quattro Passi in Nerano today, but the outstanding dish was this amuse bouche of a clear jelly that in your mouth exploded into a fully fletched tomato salad.

The Amalfi coast is gorgeous. Today we sailed along that coast and around Capri.
Never set foot on the island, but these are gorgeous places.
Now know that a “zupa di pesci”, is in fact not a soup but a huge plate of gorgeous seafood and fish; a whole meal instead of the starter I thought it was!

We sailed around the island of Capri today. Gorgeous vistas.
And many expensive yachts.
We also passed the entrance of the world famous Blue Grotto there.
18€ pp to get in.
And a 4 hour queuing time.
Nah. Perhaps not.

Today is we visited (for the first time in my life) Positano and Ravello on the Italian Amalfi coast.
Gorgeous places.
And, 95% of the people there were… American.
Good for them, but prices inflated by between 75-100%.
(“Yeah, a bargain at 150€! That less than $200, you know!”; next town: 23€ 😜).
