The house is quieter now and I can only hear wood creaking or the wind blowing outside. Pedro left on the fifteenth of September, and is dearly missed. He would knock on my bedroom door each morning and when I said enter, he met me with a cheery smile and a "Good Morning Grandma" " Did you sleep well" or "What shall we do today, I have a meeting at 11, but I'm free in the afternoon."Lovely memories of my good - natured Grandson. Yes I'm the doting Grandma, who's affection knows no bounds when it comes to my grandson and even more so when I know the affection is mutual. The next time we will see each other is at Christmas, but it will soon be here. During my daughter in-law Paula's holidays,(she is a school teacher of English and French,) I saw more of Paula and my son Marco Paulo, and we had many happy reunions, and I see my daughter Eva three times a week, and Marco and Paula once a week so I'm not short of company. Also just recently I have met up with old friends and we have had lunch together in various restaurants and spent pleasant afternoons together. It is cooler now in the mornings and evenings but the afternoons are still hot but bearable. The new gardener has planted plugs of graminha grass to replace the scorched grass spoilt by the summer heat. I collected the grass from other areas of the garden, and fingers crossed that they take root and do well. My time spent gardening is limited and I suffer the consequences afterwards, but what little is achieved makes me feel good. Now you are up to date with how I have spent my time, and know the reason why I am sometimes late in commenting on your blogs and even photography has taken a back seat when I have felt over tired and I can't sit at the computer because of the pain in my knee. The following image is an old photo that I don't remember sharing before,but please forgive me if I have. I hope you enjoy.
I love all the birds of the tit family but the Crested tit, I think you'll agree is simply charming.
A short post for a change.
I will be linking up with Stewart at Wild Bird Wednesday and Eileen at Saturday's Critters both amazing blogs with loads of wildlife to enjoy.
