Schwarzer Milan (Black Kite)

I know it's only a silhouette but I still like it.  This one quite regularly flies low over the houses here and there are lots of pictures of where it was, it's nice to get a shot of it finally.

I went to work today and I really shouldn't have.  Olympic quality sneezing and coughing that is now starting to hurt filled my day.  That and people phoning with very odd little problems.  I had planned on leaving early but I hadn't planned on never being able to escape phone calls.  Consequently I have a nice bump to my flexitime and I've made some new contacts.

Home now and I have every intention of going to bed early.  Here's hoping that sometimes-I'm-really-really-hot-and then suddenly-I'm freezing phase has passed.

I think I've mentioned before that the Italian city is (das) Mailand in German.  Maybe I didn't, this fever is making me forgetful
