WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)
-
In the 526J-SL and 777N trying to figure out how to deal with a muddy area of the yard. Maybe cedar pathway?
Same denim on both. One has seen more wear.
-
Quite an eventful day. Last day on the island, went for a quick morning walk at sunrise:
For the first time in over 30 years going there, I spotted a stranded seal pup.
The island has a dedicated rescue station, they picked it up but were unsure if it could be saved.
On the way back home, we finally drove by Nijmegen during the opening hours of https://black-and-blue.shop/.
Lucky for my wallet, the IHSB-ANJ4 in XXL they had didn't fit me. And they didn't have any denim in 36… So I just went with a pair of Stetson gloves. -
thank you, @weftyarn - coming from the master of photography, that's nice to hear
I blame it on the iPhone camera, though. The built in camera software kind of shoots the photos on its own. I just try to maintain symmetry. But the light is always fantastic with the sun and the beach.In other news: The seal pup could be saved, we're going to visit the rescue station when we're back in Feburary.

A pic from the trails this weekend.
Today is day 2 of a pretty wonderful snow event. I could stare out the window all day.
-
Took Hattie to the Denver Children's Museum. Total Petri dish in that joint as you'd expect, so once the outdoor riding mower captivated her unbounded attention, I was in no hurry to move along

@Madame Buttonfly and I are in Menorca, we have come here primarily to check on the progress of MV SAKURA (which means making ours selves a PITA with the builders). But we have lot of other things to do and we have fallen in love with Menorca, out of season it is quiet and cheap - and stunningly beautiful. It is thus far my favourite Mediterranean Island, bar none.
This morning, we went
Venus and Mars'ingshopping. Paula did bedding, I did liferafts.
Sorry, I forgot to take pics of sheets….
Afterwards, we went to look at some of the Talayotic remains which exist on the Island, there are 100's of these across Menorca.
I can't tell you how much I loved this place....
I'm a sucker for steps built into dry-stone walls….
The cistern and washing area…
Paula, worshipping some random deity, or doing an " @twin "
-
Afterwards, we drove to Cuitadella for a quick refreshment.
I fell in love with this building, I think what made it so special for me was the sympathetic use of UPVC double-glazing in the windows above the entrance. Fucking vandals…..
I'm also a sucker for covered walkways, a Portico in Italian (bologna is famous for them)…
-
Think it's fair to say we are incredibly lucky with the weather
-
Looks like a wonderful place to visit. Must add to my bucket list for some winter sun.

After playing boats:

We took a trip up to the third largest town in Menorca, Alaior, because we wanted to see the church that dominates the surrounding countryside….
The simplicity of this arched roof is a joy to behold…No ostentatious my-cojones-are-larger-than-yours architectural pomposity....
-
Not an architect or art historian, but it is interesting to see those Romanesque arches instead of Gothic ones. I looked it up and based on when it was built, I think pointed arches would have been the dominant style. So I would think it is unusual to have that style from that era and in such pristine condition.
Glad y;all are enjoying your adventure!
