Clouds hanging low.
Feb. 13th, 2008 09:03 pm"The city's gone," P. announced this morning while I was still dozing in bed*.
With fog as thick as pea soup there wasn't much visible of the landmarks we usually see from our window: no hôtel de ville, no royal palace, no European Union. They were all blotted out, like letters under a layer of white-out.
An erased city, means a disappeared school. "Can I stay in bed, because the school isn't there?" I ask. But quickly reason takes over, and I get up to another day of teaching.
*I seem to be having this sleeping problem where I wake up in the middle of the night thinking I have to get up in a minute or so. When I do have to get up, I'm too tired and try to stay in bed as long as possible.
