The adventures of Spanish journalists in Ukraine
These journalists will have quite a story to tell back home. Watching it from afar on your phone is one thing, but experiencing it with your whole heart in Ukraine, while risking a life you undoubtedly value, is quite another.

In cities, street space is a really scarce (and under-valued) commodity. Increasing vehicle size costs everyone.
And vehicle weight determines your impact on the wear-and-tear of cities.

On Sunday, #Zürich residents voted 52.8% in favor of increasing parking fees for cars according to weight.
The owner of a BMW X2 (Diesel), which weighs 1,675 kilograms, will now pay equivalent of €717 Euros per year to park on a public street. (Before, about €321.)
Direct democracy!

Bathroom update..
Pipes & wires sorted out and clipped to the wall.

Tomorrow is plastering, fitting waste pipes, ceiling lights & maybe the first ceiling panels

After the recent rains the weeds instantly arrived, it took quite a bit of effort to remove them from the allotment onion and asparagus beds. I've still another onion bed to clear, but it's quite nice work with an audiobook for company

I once lost a library book. To get out of paying the fine I took a job at the library, returned the book on the system and quit a week later.
