Goodbye to the Winter of 2009, the third toughest one in my life. Three inexpensive, humble pleasures helped me to get through it: Books (Henning Mankell's Wallander series, Fyodor Dostoevski's "The Idiot"), a movie (Babel) and bergamot-scented tea. Apart, of course, from YouTube and music (the romantic songs of Camilo Sesto, Ana Gabriel's "Luna" and Antony singing "Blind", most of all).
