Perfect Days

Part of the view from my veranda!
This post is a celebration of two perfect days.

By juggling work commitments I managed to have yesterday and today to really do just what I felt like doing. That is extremely rare in itself. I was very lucky because yesterday the temperature rose dramatically and I woke feeling energised and ready for a long walk with my dogs. And that is how my perfect days began.

Although I hadn't walked much lately (weather and work not permitting), I got home still full of energy and in a great mood. I looked at my outrageously overgrown lawn and decided to tackle it. That took me ages and a lot of sweat, too. When that was done I was exhausted but triumphant. The rest of the day was to relax.

Today I had breakfast on the veranda for the first time this year, admiring my newly cut lawn from under that big orange tree.

Next on the agenda - a beach walk.
Looking good, low tide, no wind
Arriving at the beach, it was great to see it was low tide and that my hat would stay on my head.

Galé/Salgados beach

Isn't this a marvellous beach to go for long walks on? 

These birdies gave my dog a bit of extra exercise.
My small dog had fun chasing these little birds. They weren't bothered - just took off and landed a bit further on.


What a coincidence!

Today I decided to lend my boat to a few friends, lol - aren't they lucky?

Rocks can be interesting.

What animal does that rock formation remind you of?

The rest of the the day was spent relaxing with the scents from the garden wafting through the open windows. Two perfect days!

    1. Glad to be of service!
      This time of the year is my favourite - warm, beaches not overcrowded yet and lots of lovely scents from the garden.
      Thank you for visiting and commenting.

  2. Beautiful views. It is great when you can take a break and do something you enjoy.

    1. Tourist season began this weekend so I can't take the dogs on the beach until October.
