It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an absolutely stunning day today; the sun is bright and warm like it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going up to 19 -with the sun it just feels lovely. Perfect as a \u00c2\u00a0matter fact; I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m really enjoying my time here. \u00c2\u00a0I am watching YouTube videos on how to do watercolour. Yes, I am going to get to it but so far my attempts have been pitiful. I think I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m trying too hard, and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do when I use my oils and cold wax at home. I play with a limited palette so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve decided I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m gonna play with watercolours in the same way. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not going to be serious.\u00c2\u00a0
After a trip into Sao Teotonio to get some masking tape and a spray bottle, I stopped and had some fish and chips, not like fish and chips at home, real fish that actually still had the smell of the sea. Fabulous! Then I came home and set up and experimented with my new watercolours. Even though the first painting was pretty mediocre I do like the new watercolours.

I took my laundry, that I had done early today, off the line, folded it all and put away. It’s nice to get those domestic duties out of the way. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still 19\u00c2\u00b0 and lovely outside. In fact, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so nice and warm, it makes me want to go to sleep. \u00f0\u0178\u02dc\u201a.
A sunset approached. I went out with my camera to have a look at it. It wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t dramatic but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lovely to see the change in the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On arrival home I was greeted warmly by my fickle feline friend. I left food out last night and someone ate it! I added to it today and he was enjoying filling his belly. He came in for a chat, hopped up beside me on the couch , had a cuddle or two and then back out for some food. The last I saw he was on top of the white wall heading back down the driveway. As I sat in the sun, I noticed a white and black cat crossing the property. It had a rather low hung belly area and I wondered. Was there a belly full of kittens there? I filled the food dish up again just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


This was a quiet day.
I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been here 16 days already. Wow, the time is flying by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
