Enough that it was an early evening yesterday, but it was perhaps not entirely voluntary that I got up in the morning, long before the sun rose to cook porridge, play with the babblers and at the same time try to make sure that the noise level is kept down so that we neither wake the wife of the household nor the neighbors. Not an easy task and just in time for sunrise I got proof of my failure when I was relieved by a somewhat sleepy wife. No harm done, however, and I got to go for a run along the beach promenade at sunrise which was absolutely fantastic.
Otherwise the day has been very passive, we have explored the village we live in which is cozy but quite sleepy as we are off season but when you walk around here and see all the cafes, bars and restaurants I can imagine that under the high bed there are a lot of people here. In other words, they suit me perfectly to be here now. The weather is warm enough to be able to walk in shorts and a t-shirt even though I haven’t dared to go swimming in the sea yet. There are enough cafes and bars open for me to be satisfied and you don’t have to fight the hordes to find somewhere to sit, perfect in my opinion.
