The festive season had me devolving into a slob...aA years; worth of partying - and building bridges over turkey.
Visited some of the old hangouts, dolphin watching at the DP jetty, got shooed from outside the chapel at Odxel...outside Cabo was pretty deserted, and different...the old cross at DP, the amazing view, got there rather late, heard some voices and I chickened out...Altinho...and then "home", close to Thunder. Lost an earring.

all in a days' work
Carols at daybreak and friends coming home herald the start of the festive season.
The long walk to Cidade, with Andy for company, combined exercise with gossip, fashion and the happenings in Sg and B'lore.
A lazy morning followed by getting out the christmas tree, ornaments, decorations.
Evening swim and a friend came a-calling, suggested a walk on the beach. Being a sucker for a walk and the ocean, I couldn't resist.
Ended up at Baga, less tourists, heightened security at the road leading to Titos' and people wearing Santa caps, parking in the open field at Baga...so many changes in just a month.
A walk on the beach, rough seas, geography lessons, star gazing took us to Souza Lobos' and back...also the many dinner invites.
The Karaoke shack was a greater temptation then the Brittos' pastries. I now know I can't match Elvis for "Are you lonesome tonight". Bonny at the shack is good!
Had to skip Brittos due to the late hour, exercised my vocal cords some more on the drive back and a brief stop over at the renovated Dona Paula jetty and finally home.
A long day. Easily one of the best sundays I've had in years. Good times.

Same Difference
Two couples on the road...
The first, an old couple(in their 80's?), Goans...probably on their way home from church. The man with a cane in one hand and on the other side with her hand around his elbow, his wife....equally old, the two of them shuffling along on the pot-holed road had me wondering who was supporting whom, rather sweet and gallant.
A little further on, the second couple, Caucasians, young(late 20's to early 30's) with their arms around each other...the guy had his arm on her shoulder and she with her arm around his waist...so close to each other, they might've been joined from the hip to the shoulders...they couldn't walk straight! If I didn't know better, I'd have thought they were drunk...cheesy.

of this and that...
Feast of The Immaculate Conception. More importantly, a holiday. A perfect day.
Reading: Shantaram-Gregory David Roberts.
Music: Radio Indigo.
No physical activity. No walks, no swim. Not good.
A new pup on the streets, increasing the canine population in our locality to four, we now have two full grown males, a female, and the new pup.
Do dogs seek company...
...saw the pup cuddled up to the female this morning out in the open space. The two males growl at him. Is it the "maternal instinct" that makes the female accept the pup? Curious.
