Busy days + appreciation of free moments

1 - Last weeks have been really busy, not so much quality time at home. Mia resents this and makes sure I get the message: each day I find her in a new (and odd) place to lounge...

2 - Not a lot of time to cook proper things lately... surviving on what I grab first (I decided this ends today)!

3 - On a weekend evening we went out for dinner and I tasted the best combination ever: "leite de creme" (a sort of custard cream) with fresh strawberries. So good. On my way out spotted a tiny tiny heart on the side walk <3 <3 <3

4 - Every chance I get, I take shortcuts through the city's gardens and parks. These days with low temperatures and bright blue sky make more sense with nature around...  

5 - This week I noticed for the first time a strange-spooky shop on the street where I live. It could be a shop in Harry Potter's Diagon Alley, full of strange old things (it was closed, but I peeked at the window anyway)

Happy Birthday Mum!

A lovely dinner with family and friends celebrating my mum's birthday. Good moments.

The Best Thing I Read today... "To hear the music"

Birthday Sunday

New wrist warmers in the park

Its not so cold yet. Except if you lay on the grass, reading a book... that's when I trully appreciated my new wrist warmers!

A walk by the river

Remembering this day, the long walk in the company of friends, the coolness of the river and the pink(ish) sky. A really good day.

Borba III - last day in town

 

 

Sunday is a quiet day in this small city. The streets are almost empty, except for the  few (maybe 2) coffee shops were some locals (mostly men) chat and have a glass of wine.

 



 

We came back home with the feeling of having spent more than a weekend away (which is a sign that the days were really full and well spent)!
