That door has closed / Esa puerta se ha cerrado

La versión en español está después de la versión en inglés.

I haven’t been doing much of anything in recent days. Laundry is always a satisfying accomplishment. Taking out the trash in the evening ranks right up there, although San Geraldo took it out last night after I bagged it up.

I woke up at 9:25 this morning. I closed my eyes for a moment and it was 10. I’m in a mood. This, too, shall pass, as they say. I’ve decided to just let it take its course. Soon it will be time to open a new window and open a new door. For the time being, I hope you like these old, mostly closed ones.

At top is a photo of a really big tomato (in case you weren’t sure). Below, watch that first step; it’s a doozy.

No he estado haciendo gran cosa estos últimos días. Lavar la ropa siempre es un logro satisfactorio. Sacar la basura por la noche es lo máximo, aunque San Geraldo la sacó anoche después de que la puse en una bolsa.

Me desperté a las 9:25 esta mañana. Cerré los ojos un momento y eran las 10. Estoy de mal humor. Esto también pasará, como dicen. He decidido dejar que siga su curso. Pronto será hora de abrir una nueva ventana y una nueva puerta. Por ahora, espero que te gusten estas viejas, casi cerradas.

Arriba hay una foto de un tomate enorme (por si no estabas seguro). A continuación, mira el primer paso; es una locura.

      Chuck never saw the movie. He would have been uncomfortable with Peter Boyle’s portrayal of the monster. I loved the movie but that characterization made me squirm since it mimicked some individuals with disabilities we both knew. It unfortunately put a damper on the experience and would never suggest he see it. He definitely would have laughed at some of it… like nice knockers.

  1. Big tomato, and I know that it actually tastes great… what a treat!
    Beautiful doors. It makes me happy to see them. Hoping you’ll feel less in a mood soon.

    1. Judy C:
      These are the days that make me appreciate the other days. Oh well. Today, so far, feels a bit better.

  2. I see what you mean about that first door! I wonder how many unsuspecting guests have fallen headlong down those stairs? An endless variety of doors – Spain’s architecture is fascinating… Jx

  3. I actually find folding laundry very therapeutic. Yes, just go with the flow and this too shall pass. Puerta de la Ribera is my favorite!

    1. Kelly:
      I fold the laundry on the roof before I put it in the laundry bag. Not as relaxing, but nice to be outside in the sunshine and the view. Yes, the bougainvillea around the beautiful door is stunning.

  4. Wow, that’s the biggest tomato I’ve ever seen! No wonder SG had to pay so many Euros for it.

    I love how solid and fortified the Spanish doors are that you feature. They look like they could withstand a battering ram, though the Vikings would have gotten a helluva surprise at the first one, LOL!

    1. Tundra Bunny:
      That’s a different tomato, even bigger. I don’t think it cost €5! Can you imagine storming that house? I know Vikings raided Seville but I don’t think they ever made it to the city of Córdoba. It would probably have been Christians taking the fall.

  5. Love the doors! Okay, not the setup for the first one. Coming up the stairs would be no joke. Restful thoughts, Olivia

    1. Olivia:
      There’s got to be a better solution for that entrance. I would not want to ever use that door!

    1. Steve,
      Yes, I love the touch of the birds. Better day today. Thinking of you.

  6. I am mad-jealous of the tomato. It’s late July and I probably won’t get any proper toms this year. I miss them so.

    1. Urspo:
      We’ve been surprised by the delicious tomatoes SG has been getting at the supermarket.
