Christmas Day

 

Christmas day arrived with a very heavy dew and a slight nip in the air, but the thing that struck me the most was the silence, not even any church bells.

I decided to go for a walk around the complexes, about half an hours walk. I never saw a soul, nor heard a sound.

I picked some foliage to make a half hearted attempt at a floral arrangement.

I had already made the decision that Christmas day was  my one day of doing absolutely nothing. And that is what I did.

I had my traditional Christmas morning martini which was very enjoyable.

Lunch was made and eaten and I  drank some very good Vinho Verde, sunbathed for a few hours on the balcony and had a nap.

I caught up with friends and relatives and then had a soak in the bath and was in bed early.

The perfect day in my books.

However today I am off to explore more and try to find myself a museum.

Happy Boxing Day.
