ah august, you magnificent beast!
the month started in the north for little niece’s birthday party, but the rest of it was very much spent at home and it was glorious. we spent time with friends who were in the area, fixed stuff around the house, fought the eternal battle against summer ants, attended a few concerts and movie nights, dipped in the pool, cooked new stuff, watched kleo and then welcomed my parents and small cousin just as the month was wrapping up. :)
april was chill.
there was art, and running and friends. we destroyed the big cactus that was trying to take over the garden. started watching suits. had the parents over during easter, went to the north, participated in a race and survived a blackout!
march was a mixed bag.
it had some quiet days in comporta, some tree-planting in the rain, friends and family, my grandma’s 90th anniversary, some stupid tonsil infection, a concert and a funeral… oooof!
a short month at home with some rain, running, and nice movie nights. :) there was good food, some hiking, lots of snails in my cabbages, nice sunsets… a big of everything!
despite this being the month in which my thyroid got chopped in half, it wasn’t bad at all. the first half had a lot of friends and family, and the rest saw us back home, recharging, back to our old routines. so far, so good, 2025!
