After dusk, feline ghosts enter my home and gather around bright screens, crowding in, their diaphanous white fur obstructing my view.

I had to do something. I set Libby to dark mode. Most of them left and I can read again. But a few of them still linger, fuzzing up the letters.

Damn cataracts.

First thing our granddaughter did when she got to our apartment was unpack a diaphanous multi-layered princess skirt, embroidered with glittering stars, and a bejeweled plastic tiara so she could changed out of her proto-punk-Berlin travel attire.

Her mum's in fashion, what can I tell you?.

Images from Google Maps of a tram stop on Carrer de Wellington, Barcelona. Just remembering this pleasant spot and the elegantly minimal infrastructure. The canopy is a "modern, diaphanous and austere design" by architects Antoni Roselló and Rafael Cáceres www.dissenyhub.barcelona/en/6-canopy-...
