I write this on the afternoon of January 26, 2025.
- The news is currently dominated by Donald Trump. I have stopped posting on Twitter for the moment. Tonight I am making a birthday dinner. For the site, I will be linking fragments together randomly, an idea I have had for some time.
- Canary Islands (Wikipedia)
The Canary Islands (/kəˈnɛəri/, Spanish: Canarias, Spanish: [kaˈnaɾjas]), also known informally as the Canaries, are a Spanish region, autonomous community and archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. At their closest point to the African mainland, they are 100 kilometres (62 miles) west of Morocco. They are the southernmost of the autonomous communities of Spain. The islands have a population of 2.2 million people and are the most populous special territory of the European Union.
