Morning joke.

See the storks on the spires? They are living hard times this year. Winter's not being so mild as they were used to. Either they came back too early or they never left. But this morning they woke up to another snowy cold day. Nothing to do with temperatures in Bucharest, but cold, anyway for the big birds.

However, there's always somebody who makes a joke of the situation. They may not know it but these small temporary creations become the joy of the morning.

It's amazing storks are still there, they leave here before the end of September. Even birds that don't migrate are "regrouping" these days, looking for lakes that did not freeze, if any.
Speaking of jokes, as I took a hot bath to "thaw" my legs I remembered the hot water "rations" before the Revolution. In Bucharest, we were lucky to have it for 2 hours every day, but there were many places where it was worse. The harder the life, the nicer the jokes. And what a luxury- such a simple thing like a hot bath on a freezing day!
