A walk and dip in La caldera (Garganta de Gredos). Clear, fresh water. Rounded rocks in all shapes and sizes. Few minutes in the water, few on the rock and repeat. That was the recipe of the day. A guaranteed tan and a sensation of peace. No wonder the ones who moved out from there […]
Months of talk… finally it’s the weekend to fulfil a promise. 178 kms to go. A promise of adventure and great vistas. Took the scenic route. Confidence boost – check. Staying alert for the whole drive – check. Half-way through I stopped to take it in. The amazing view of the valley. Wow. I could […]
Setting my mentees some new photography goals. Caught up on some long pending communication and tasks. Planned for a short trip that has been on the books for ages, but never materialised. Decided to give Dhano a bath. She looks better than she has in several weeks. That and watering the garden. Chores enough to […]
Went to mass and took C for lunch. It was her first time having a two course meal… we take so many things for granted. A throng of sparrows that took wing while I drove by them. Happy little birds. Watching the Perseids meteor shower until 3 in the morning. G&T, good company, strange conversations.
So many chores in and around the house. Checking them off was a lot of fun. Finally cleared my wardrobe. Threw away several clothes. Rediscovered several others. Found a whole new style that I’d like to play with more while trying on clothes from my closet. Ready to watch and shoot the Meteor shower. Will […]
After a furious exchange of emails, turns out that the provider was invoking the service incorrectly. Felt good to send them the last email. Strangely, this made me bond with EV. Pretty much everyone goes on vacation. Whoo hoo. Deciding to go vegetarian for the next two weeks. Hell… why not! Protecting us from attacks. […]
Dealing with one of the worst providers we’ve ever been forced to work with. Solace came in a conversation with an old friend and a chance to vent in 3 languages simultaneously. Ahhh … the joys of being a polyglot.
Meeting, Icelandic, Directions Met M after donkey’s years. Didn’t start off well, but we found our groove. Recounting our trip to Iceland and giving advice. Reliving those memories via photos. Loved each moment of it. Was asked for directions while heading into the metro and was interrupted mid-sentence with “wow.. your eyes” 🙂 Yeah… vain […]
While checking on my vacation days, I found I had two to spare. Whooo hooo!!! Apparently I was a nightmare in class. My conversations with the professors happened at a different level and no one in class followed along. Can’t believe they remembered those details. Learned how to make some mouthwatering Caipirinhas. I’ll survive the […]
Not one of the best days I’ve had… but the good thing is… it’ll get better!
