Please come here and I will show you what boredom truly is, we have it mastered, we are so good at it that half of the population sleeps through the long dark rain filled days, dreamworld being the most excitement of which we are capable. Lethargy is contagious. The BIG DARK DAMP!

We'd need to take a strong shovel to the snow (ice) banks and a space heater to the ground to be able to dig!

We stayed at the Art Hotel across the river from the Parliament building which was incredibly beautiful at dawn and at night. If you click through to my blog and search on Budapest you can read the trip reports.

We now do not go to bed until about 1 o'clock in the morning and so I sleep really well. Of course you can't do that but maybe going to bed a tad later might help.<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-52853774822820489372018-02-02T10:23:01.323+00:002018-02-02T10:23:01.323+00:00It is a terrible shame that "The Emancipation...It is a terrible shame that "The Emancipation of Slaves" involved giving slave owners and slave traders huge amounts of compensation money.

Too many long nights and depressing weather.<br /><br />That is an interesting photo of the monument. The coloured tiles (?) on the top look unusual for Victorian gothic.
