Got a cat, haven’t come up with a name yet. For now I address her by her IP address.
For those who have discovered freshly ground coffee: don’t chase expensive varieties. I’ve chosen #Jockey for myself, Italian roast.
Back when I didn’t know freshly ground coffee, I drank only #CarteNoire. The best coffee among instant ones…
If a long black cable crosses your path, lift your feet so as not to trip.
I love the feeling when you watch a film not for the first time and notice the tiniest details.
If a writhing black viper crosses your path, then you really need to be careful.
Suddenly I realized that the long painting on the wall depicts the very same landscape I see outside my window — the steppe, a lake and a smoking town on the horizon.

Fresh white bread with a crusty crust, sweet black tea brewed from large leaves, the steppe and the sunset sky in a quiet lake… The taste of life.

For everyone worried about the cat’s fate: sensationally, by dinner it turned out to be alive.
Is the cat still alive — the one that at noon lies almost in the same spot where it lay in the morning, as if accidentally shifted by someone’s foot?

#Microsoft’s persistence with tiles now looks far more advantageous than the wavering of #Apple, which has strayed from its own course.
