I love this bright dry cold. This time last year I was poorly and every gust of wind seemed to whistle through my bones and lodge in the marrow. This year I'm healthy and lardy and it is a joy to trundle through the streets bundled in absurd garb and not feel the cold like an enemy. C and M got their picture of the baby Chinese girl they are adopting. She'll be here in eight weeks time. From the doorstep of a farmer's house where she was found to Avenue A; quite a trip. I can see the people who will be her parents and extended family incubating love in anticipation of her arrival. She looks ready for Avenue A in the photo.
