One of those surreal nights at the Bentegodi!
Atalanta fans will at least be pleased they couldnโt see what was happening on the pitch!
Big 3 points for Verona! Hopefully we can push up from here!
This will be remembered as the most pathetic moment in American history. What a needy fool.

Weโre even winning 2-0 at halftime against our local rivals!
If it stays like this it will be our first victory of the season in the last game at the Bentegodi this year!
Yes and weโre winning 2-0!
Maybe the fact that you canโt see the ball is helping!
Canโt even see the Curva tonight!

Looking out the children's Christmas books window at night, past the illuminated Christmas tree
The tall, double doors of the Edinburgh Bookshop at night, the interior visible through the windows, bright and cosy against the darkness outside
Of course, we are a little biased, but we think our bookshop looks cosier than a penguin in a thermal sleeping bag.
A little literary oasis of words and light, in the long winter night.

This is a sobering if unsurprising read.
On the other hand, we get a steady flow of interns through our office and I'm always impressed by their creativity and output.
Reading actual stuff, though, is going to become an increasingly rare skill!
Now, a Negroni one I could get on board with!
