I had a last minute change of heart this morning when I saw Becky’s post, and decided to cheer her up with something of the natural kind. It always works for me. Please go and say hello.
The kindness of nature
#KindaSquare
Looking kindly
The cutest little face. I think mum may be taking him to kindergarten. After yesterday’s fright, this is a lovely share, and I’m happy to say that I spent much of the night listening to raindrops. Actually they were hammering down! It will be nice to see the grass this green again.
Kinda scared!
I wouldn’t want to meet him on a dark night! Found on the back streets of Monte Gordo. Perhaps he just needs a little kindness?
The cork kind
I don’t know about you, but Cee has been making me smile throughout this series of October Squares by increasing the number of items in her daily squares. Before it all gets out of hand I thought I’d share 18 corks, as my contribution on this, the 18th October. Becky has thoughtfully linked my generous portions of cake to her Squares roundup today, and if you’re going to visit them all you might well need a glass of the good Portuguese stuff by the end. Have a great Sunday!
Six Word Saturday
Would some kind person paint me?
Just one more aspect of Ponte Romana, Tavira but, you have to admit, those railings need a coat of paint. Join in with Becky’s October challenge, or you could be ingenious with Debbie? Happy Saturday!
Two more of a kind
One of the delights of Becky’s October challenge is the many Different Kinds of squares we’re treated to. Have a lovely day, everyone!
Which kind for you?
It’s been a while since we shared cake, hasn’t it? Which kind do you like? Deep lemon meringue pie perhaps. Chocolate slice. Or that ‘oh so gooey’ marzipan confection. My excuse today is Su’s Virtual Tea Party and the need to share a few thoughts.
Here in Portugal a State of Calamity has again been declared. From today group sizes are restricted to 5 (an ‘awkward’ number), down from 10, and restaurant seatings adjusted accordingly. In the Algarve it’s another blue sky day in paradise. Figures are still low here and we’re hoping this is a precautionary measure. A swift adjustment to our thinking means we can still walk today in the countryside, as planned, and dine together afterwards, split between two tables. We are so lucky to have the climate that we do, and the warmth of friendship to share our troubles. Many of us have family abroad whom we struggle to see. But it’s put a brave face on, choose your beverage and slip on over to Su’s place. Even when she’s feeling down, she’ll pick you up. And you know you can always rely on Becky.
Now… about that cake?
The fit kind
Take kindly to
Jude is hoping for dramatic sunsets this week. They tend to be gentle around here. But I know that this is a scene beloved of Becky.
Of its kind
The message last Monday was much stronger, but still, I love the lighthouse at Vila Real de Santo Antonio and, living where I do, so close to the salt marsh habitat of the Ria Formosa, I always have a soft spot for a flamingo. Croquet with the Queen of Hearts, anyone?
