Near the end

What an interesting end of the year I'm having. First, I found out that "Side By Side" was actually shown right here, under my nose and right on my birthday (!!!) while I was fighting the gone mad powers of nature in Tuscany. True, there was no presentation here and this festival is totally uknown to me (and I tend to know the festivals quite well), and there was no proper publicity, otherwise I would have known the movie was going to be here but still... Oh well. Another city, another time.

Then I'm meeting people I haven't seen for fifteen years at the local market while I'm picking apples and bananas... Those people happen to be old flames. Ended up in a piano bar listening to heartbreaking stories in which I played the leading role. Of course, there was nothing true in them, I'm not that mean. LOL But the bar was really nice. I love piano bars. Starting to wonder what to expect in the remaining three days. And do I really want to know? Yes. I do. It should be a big and nice surprise but I can handle a hint or two in advance. :)))))))

(the snow melted, sadly, but at night the city still looks beautiful)

P.S. Someone has bought the dress I wanted to get for the New Year's Eve. I'm very disappointed. It was only one. And there is no other indigo-dark-night-blue dress like that. :(
