Day 34 ~ Sun
The light rays that peek in the house during the winter
months, the burning sun of August in Madrid. Its warming

broken toe was bothering me, and the discomfort went away.
In the afternoon I opened the patio door and sunbathed for
ten minutes after lunch. I've always liked the sun so

sun, being a (European) second floor of seven on a one-way street
that faced another seven-story building. But the little
sun there was, particularly during the spring, was all
mine! My cat would do the same, she would find the slits
of sunbeams that made it through the balcony door and lie
down. I can endure cold, but I
