Yesterday was time for colacoa... And think today my opened toed furry slippers will hit the shoe cupboard and out will come the furry boots!
This morning I let the alarm pass and after tea in bed and a bit of a series I got up, opened the persiana in the living room to this outstanding vista.. I ran up to the terrace to take this photograph..
To find my neighbor already appreciating this ..
We're so lucky in so many ways.. it's views like this... And so many others in this beautiful part of the world I am so lucky to live in..
I know wherever you are, we are, in this world, we have these amazing sights.. even in closed in cities.. we look around and up and see amazing horizons around us.
Yesterday helping with painting a bathroom, out a ways from Alhaurín, surrounded by mountains, the sound of trees, a dog barking, the odd vehicle or bike..
Then the sound of bells through the windows, goats on the mountainside, bleating and chiming, their dogs playing their own chasing game amongst the herd..
Although there's much we wish would catch up with the rest of the world here, especially in Andalucia, I miss even what was here twenty years ago.. goats on the roads around here every week, the knife sharpening man on his bicycle playing on his pan flute, every week on our street along with others.. bread, fish, meat, clothes!
And yesterday, brought me back to the real Spain.. could have sat back, in the lowering sun, glass of red, some small food, maybe not even music.. just listen to the world around me..
Asked what I want the other day.. It's hard to put into words.. and maybe this sounds boring but it's not.. it's just the basis, just the bottom line of it..
Wish I knew what each day would bring.. not the fine details as such but the big picture... The main parts that wouldn't change, the important parts..
It would still leave all the mystery of each day.. that's what I want.. that's all I want.
