Zagreb looks pitiful today. Dark, low clouds are gliding threateningly just above the rooftops. It is not raining at the moment, but one can smell the rain nonetheless. Streets and squares are wet from the last drenching. There is little light. It looks like dawn or dusk even around noon. One finds oneself repeatedly checking the time of day, just in case. The weather is so dreadful that it does not take me long to remember good old England. Dawn and dusk jumbled forever.
