A hint of blue should do!
Most of the UK will have their share of blueness this weekend. I’m just contributing a little more. It was actually a cool, damp day in the Algarve when I wandered into the museum and church of Igreja da Misericordia de Tavira. I had the place entirely to myself and spent a very pleasant hour browsing. I’d say that the pretty blue ceramic tiles, azulejos, are Prolific in Portugal, wouldn’t you?
Enjoy whatever blue skies and sunshine come your way, but don’t forget to share Six Words with Debbie. You may be bamboozled!

Hurray for blue, Jo! For some reason the word “succulent” popped in my head seeing all the beautiful blue tiles. This word is usually used in regards to food (fruit?), I believe. Silly me. 🙂

Ooo, la, la…or should that be blue, la, la? It was beautifully blue and warm here yesterday, although it’s cloudy today. Spring temperatures have finally arrived, though, and that’s good enough for me. 🙂 Have a marvelous weekend, Jo.

Coastal fog gone today so I guess the beaches will be heaving. We are relaxing at home and enjoying the peace and quiet and sunshine ( well we would if it weren’t for the neighbours having a BBQ and having to listen to their endless
conversationgossip ) I knew I should have insisted on a detached house!LikeLike
Just watched Rafa. Back in the garden but there’s a cooler feel. Think our heatwave has run its course xxx
