  I went for my Sunday walk, a short one as it was still a kind of warm. 1. Ow my... I can't believe it... they are not fitting one more house in there... are they? 😮 2. & 3. It seems they are 😲 4.I wonder if what's left of the small green area will survive. The bench along the walkway is still there but the walkway has disappeared behind the construction fence. I don't understand why they pile up the houses this way. 🫨 😮

  @imalcolm@mastodon.social Specially this one, he was so cute. I'm not a special friend of him, he didn't choose me. He chose that I know of 3 other people. Sidney chose me, I used to see him and one afternoon he showed up in the balcony with that special cute expression. 😀

  That can't be a coincidence!!! An air quality problem that coincides with the area where there was fires for 3-4 days. I read recently (Eronews page if I remember correctly) that the pollution from the fires can be a lot worse than that of the vehicles.

  7:30 am The good thing of heatwaves in September is that the sunrise is much later than in July or August and one can at least get the daily walk in morning. 😀 1. Again the tiny flowers of the bougainvillea 2.Early morningLight and shade. 3. The usual photo after walking down the hill. 4. Espresso under the trees. It's one of 2 locations that are cooler even during heat waves.

  Heat arriving tomorrow but again it will spare us in the coast. 32ºC for Lisbon, 30ºC for us. Not bad. 😀 Apparently it will be a hot eclipse in land. Hopefully not a very smokey hot eclipse. 🙏 I always get worried when thousand of people head to an area, in this case the NE of the country.

  Looking at the forecast. It seems Summer will arrive on the 20th. Not sure how long it will stay but at least 4 days. Note: Lots of fuss about the super El Niño that it's expected to arrive in June. I think authorities are worried about the fire season.

  Stopping for the view (yesterday afternoon)

  Now, that's a thing I never expected to see at Lidl. 😮 😆 Cooked snails. And they are Bio snails. I'm not into it but I have to admit they are pleasing the locals. (pic taken this afternoon)

  This morning was busy. But my balcony is ready for the dog days of Summer. 😀 Well, at least as ready as it can be. And I had my 2 walks, short version, one early in the morning and one in the afternoon.😀

  I overslept for 2.5h. How embarrassing 😊 😊 At least I still had time for a quick cleaning of the back balcony. 😀

  I went down into town to get something. I had a lovely surprise: "Aww ❤️ Sidney ❤️ " "Aww" "You look so cute" "I missed you." "So many days without seing you" "I knew you were fine, but I missed you" "You look adorable." Some more talk and then "See you Sidney. If you need me just show up." 😀 ...

  I just went to the balcony I confirm. It feels like 9ºC out there. 🥶 And I was wearing a sweater.

  I couldn't resist to go for a relatively short stroll this afternoon. There was a little bit of rain at times but not that much 1. Low (natural) light 2. At the top the hill the next town and further ahead the taller buildings of civilisation 3. Walking back down 4. What?!?! Why on earth they painted that all black? The employees will probably melt in there during Summer. 😲

  A little walk this mornin 1. Have I mentioned I like clouds? 😀 2. Flower shrubs at the little park 3. The Return of the Lichen (the lichen on the trees is growing again with the rain)

  The rain is gone. The semi-strong wind is still around. Ow... Checked forecast: The rain comes back this afternoon.

  Lovely shower. The indoors kind not the outdoors. 🚿 After all that coughing yesterday and the day before I was in need of one.

  I walked to town. On the way back I noticed one more construction now complete. Behind the red gate is the original farm house from from the 1780s which was rebuilt and remodelled. In that one they a kind of kept the original look. Tthen they fit an extra house in front instead of using the space for a nice garden, yard. Well at least they kept the gate entrance that I always liked a lot. Note: I can't wait to see how many more houses they will fit in the space still not built.

  An eventful morning walk cut short. 😀 1. Lots of activity up there. (I don't really know the objective but a hole was created in the sidewalk) 2. Trying to help with some work being done (He got out there safely, tried to climb up again and ended up being told to go inside.) 3. Start thinking of turning back (I got to the market as the rain reached me) 4. Styrofoam in the wild in Spring

  I love Spring. 😀 I just walked down to Lidl. A few minutes of sun, then there is shade created by clouds. Then it comes a short rain shower, a couple of minutes later it's back to sun. It continues like that all the way down and back. A lovely proper Spring unlike last month. 1. Sky 2. Several lilies of the Nile are about to open

  Mosquito season must be around the corner. Citronella products were at the entrance of the supermarket.
