Thursday, November 7/2024



Love the patio. View of the mountains to the south and the Mediterranean to the north . Flowering shrubs everywhere and the neighbour’s oleander and grapevine trellis overhanging slightly. 

The only downside is the birds. Well, not the birds themselves but their droppings. Not even sure which birds. Could be early in the morning before we’re up or during the night. Plenty of swifts about and they can eat, sleep and even mate on the wing. Presumably this could include other business at night. 

Be that as it may, every morning finds a trail of splotches across the tiles, dark as blood though brown not red. None of the innocent looking white deposits that we see more frequently at home, not that they’re any more welcome.
