 Learning how to use my latest tool. I expect we will be very good friends in the future.

Before & after... A bath!

This cat was in desperate need of a bath (little did she know),    


She wasn't too happy about it,


But in the end she enjoyed the refreshing feeling of a wet fur coat (I think)!

Keep(ing) it simple

Yesterday I sat next to a pile of small stones and made a circle.


Today, while I waited for the bus, I noticed the streets had a yellow tapestry.


To see and to look are two different things :-)

Summer in the city

High temperatures arrived abruptly. The sidewalks and buildings emanate heat, even in the cool evenings. Summer has arrived. Lemonade is in order :-)

Inspiration: the best thing I read today... "break the pattern"

"It’s curious how good it feels when you take risks and live. Shoot through the cold wet and count the hail by the red marks on your back. You need to break the pattern to feel truly alive. Yell in the street or go somewhere very unfamiliar. Hug a stranger. Be spontaneous. This is your only life, don’t waste your days." Nirrimi.

Afternoon walk and ice cream in Cascais

 


Yesterday's super moon

Yesterday the moon appeared big and bright in the night sky. We watched it rise in the National Observatory, together with lots of people, enjoying the warm summer breeze.

Treat of the day: peach porridge with dates and almonds


Everyday life

1 - A bottle of dried rose petals is slowly filling up
2 - Vinyl soundtrack for evening relaxation
3 - A garden in the fire staircase - the best I can do as far as plants are concerned  
4 - Hanging art on walls
