RURAL

Been all day at the country house a bit hangover.
Great BBQ: Lamb chops, ibérico pork sirloin and thin beef steaks.
Dozed at the rear porch, watched a chapter of The Mighty Boosh and finally had a good siesta.
After siesta started reading "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner", the first twenty pages make you hate the main character, have to go further and see if it changes.
Dug a trench for the aromatic herbs for mum: Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano, Mint, Parsley and Lavender.
We have got a turtle.I like turtles but the earth ones, i had one when i was a child but one day it dissappeared...Pepa, wherever you are please come back!...Now the backyard of that house ,that i remember white, cool and humid because of the well where i played under the medlar while waiting for lunch after the montessori , has become into a cheap shoe-shop. Now also remembered that my blue-eyed granny lived next door and the every night i liked to knock on the wall and wait for her knocking back.
For dinner had beef and soy sauce noodles with a marinade of ginger, garlic, chili peppers and sherry-substituted by Johnnie Walker-.
