There's snow on the Alps, which is hauntingly pretty, because the snow stands out and the lower slopes of the mountain melt into the blues of the sky so it just looks like the peaks are floating in a purple haze over the plains.
Today on the beach I found a lot of plastic bags and blue strapping (which went in the bin) and a large, hand-size piece of natural sponge, which is really cool and so is lying on the windowsill. Maybe later I will try it in the shower.
