When I said, ‘Maybe it’s time I was retired’
Does what it says on the tin, so you can’t ask for much more
A sculpture in stone this time, rather than bronze
Lunch at a beachfront chiringuito in Benajarafe
Of course it is, who else would it be?
Manuel Porras Alcántara, sculptured in bronze, in Rincón de la Victoria
Strange not to see more of these wonderful birds considering their overall numbers
Never seen so many restaurant staff, and all constantly busy
Previous attempts at horticulture, growing/nurturing plants, have been less than successful (drastic understatement)
Not the easiest or cooperative of models to work with
Not an illness, but a genus of flowering plants
Roundabouts are great places for sculptures
Land of Bad (2024) stars a couple of the Hemsworth clan, Liam and Luke, and Russell Crowe in a medium body-count military action film. Eminently watchable.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the BBC thriller series Ludwig, starring David Mitchell. Some nice humour – as one would probably expect – and, ignoring implausibility, a very good watch. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Surprised I never thought of using the rocket blower on the laptop keyboard before!!!
