This feels like such a lazy day. I’m sitting out here 11 o’clock in the morning. The sun is beaming down on my head. It’s absolutely beautiful today; slowly the temperature is increasing from that few days of real chill nights. It’s so nice and quiet here without the neighbours, chattering away. I’m beginning to think I am a hermit. I like it when it’s just me surrounded by nature. All I can hear right now is the birds chirping and there’s some cuckoos (other than me) making their sound to the west of me. I still haven’t actually seen one. BC was here this morning; he came for his breakfast, and a chat, followed me around for about an hour and a half. I know he’s off for his regular day whatever he does. LuÃs was trimming the fig tree yesterday so it grows better. It is really interesting to look at and the pile of off cuts that he trimmed sitting there are interesting too.
How does BC know that I’m eating, that I cooked something? Is he already reading my mind? As soon as I sat down at the table outside with my fried goose egg ,potatoes and carrots, he appeared down the driveway! What’s for dinner Mom ?Chattering away as I eat, I gave him leftovers. He will miss me when I’m gone!
I found an ATM in town that accepted my debit card and now I am content.
Sitting now at Restaurante Rita having a beer , people watching and wave watching. What a great life, isn’t it?
I was back at Cape Sardao earlier. I am awe of that vista and can’t get enough of it. I did some sketching and took photographs for future work.
