Another beautiful day in the south of Chile. Sun shining in a cloudless blue sky (early in
the day), although a distinct lack of birds singing. They are around, but just not the chirpy
types. At least there aren’t any damn
crows! The sparrows looking for crumbs
where Nina (the dog) was eating are entertaining with their flitting around,
expecting Nina to suddenly jump up and chase them. Nina on the other hand, couldn’t care less
about them, stretching out for a siesta in the morning sun, then getting too
hot and wandering off to find some shade.
A short time later, it’s back to the sun. Such a difficult life!
Other birds we see are bandurrias, sort of ibis-like but
with a shorter beak and red legs. They
are very pretty birds! Go on, google
them…
The remainder of the day was relaxed. I’ve got a cold and am not 100%, but
hopefully on the improve. There might
also be an element of hayfever, as Andrea is sneezing away like crazy.
We were out for dinner with Victor and Claudia. We had an Asian-inspired meal, with sashimi,
rolls, various prawn dishes, chicken etc., all of which were delicious. There was also lots of wine, with some
especially good carmenere in particular, although the dessert wines were also
terrific. So good, that all of a sudden
we realised it was 1.30AM and we didn’t have keys to get in quietly at home.
Let’s hope we can sleep in tomorrow!
