Have recently come into possession of the opera glasses my grandmother brought with her from Vienna. Unlikely I'll be going to the opera anytime soon, but I am feeling a strange impulse to spy on the neighbors and write withering comments about them in my nonexistent journal. Imagining early 20th-century Viennese Nextdoor: schrecklich, but also köstlich
@pauline In the sense that I can't bring them into focus well enough to really comprehend what's going on, you are correct.
@semidetached Those look like they’d have the power to turn any vista into an opera, if focused just right.
