How High’s The Water Mama? Two Feet High And Risin’
Beautiful Mila writes to me from Kaliningrad. ‘John, there is no snow, no sun, no mood. Only rain.’
Seems like Kaliningrad is not the only city of gray skies and puddles. Carpetblogger has already recorded that ‘Kiev Gray‘ should be a Pantone TM color chart color. Meanwhile the ‘Internet pulse‘, Veronika at Global Voices, is also linking to muddy, Moscow puddle pics.
Blimey. When bloggers start talking about the weather, something climatically strange must be happening.
But my camera says it’s just another typically shitty, Saturday shopping afternoon. Could as easily be Watford UK as here in Novgorod, below.

Well, I was in St Petersburg this time last year and it really was cold - but only for a week or so.
Thanks for the links - and more good links on the same site.
As my russki teacher and I were waiting for a classroom to vacate yesterday, she told me about an article she’d read saying there are now eight seasons. The First Winter arrived with the snows on Tuesday, and the Second Winter will be in May and June… Not sure she entirely comprehended the article (June?!) but food for thought…
