TOADSTOOL
It\s been wet. I came across this toadstool today. I used to think that toadstools should not be eaten at all, but that certain mushrooms can be eaten, so I\ve always used the former for those you'd only eat once... Since |I am not sure if this one is poisonous or not, it's a toadstool for me!

PLUS ÇA CHANGE, PLUS C'EST LA MÊME CHOSE
As the French say, PLUS ÇA CHANGE, PLUS C'EST LA MÊME CHOSE and it is true for many things here, including the Institute for Foreign Languages, still at the same address when I attended classes here. I didn't stay long though, since at that time the teaching method was so uninspiring, so I just hung out with friends, got a good grammar book, and here I am now fluent. I imaagine now though, despite the still antiquated appearance of the entrance, that they must be doing something right to have lasted all these years.

MORE CHEERFUL
My post yesterday was so dark, both figuratively and in reality. Here's one more from my baby Minox DCC 5.1, which is more cheerful.

FOREBODING
Maybe it's the state of the world that affects me now, particularly in my home country. Everything seems dark and ominous. Clearer skies come soon, but I am not so sure.

NEAR THE MARKET
I have seen this woman frequently in different seasons, seated in the same place near a large open market. She doesn't seem to be asking for anything; just sitting.
