The view from the gallery

It’s dull, grey, cold and miserable out there today. Misty and drizzling all day. Seemingly impossible to warm up. We’ve all been taking turns at getting as close to the fireplace as we can.

And so a monochrome cartoon from the Gallery of Apocalyptic Arts seems somewhat appropriate:

Of course, Cape Town isn’t ugly and industrial and horrible. At least, it wasn’t yesterday – I can’t see very much of it today in the gloom. But as an allegory for the general state of the world at the moment, this is sadly rather accurate.

Truly horrible.
