It’s currently 20˚C/68˚F and only supposed to reach 30/86. A great day to get outside, and I will soon be there. I went out in the heat Saturday afternoon and quickly returned. It was hotter than I expected and I petered out quickly, deciding it was better to be air-conditioned.
We’re amassing projects around the house and will soon, I think, have 10 hours of 10-minute projects. Today’s photos are simply more sights I’ve recently seen around town. Given the weather (although temperatures will climb again tomorrow) and the end of summer vacations, I should start seeing a lot more people on the streets. Shops should be returning to normal hours, too. All I’ve been doing most days is window shopping. My new lavendar-ish ensemble is an example. I have only admired it (well, gawked at it) through the glass.
Ahora mismo hace 20°C/68°F y se supone que solo llegará a 30/86. Un día estupendo para salir, y pronto estaré allí. Salí con el calor del sábado por la tarde y regresé enseguida. Hacía más calor del que esperaba y me quedé sin energía enseguida, así que decidí que era mejor tener aire acondicionado.
Estamos acumulando proyectos en casa y pronto tendremos 10 horas de proyectos de 10 minutos. Las fotos de hoy son simplemente más imágenes que he visto últimamente por la ciudad. Dado el tiempo (aunque las temperaturas volverán a subir mañana) y el fin de las vacaciones de verano, debería empezar a ver mucha más gente en las calles. Las tiendas también deberían volver a su horario habitual. Casi todos los días solo he estado mirando escaparates. Mi nuevo conjunto lavanda es un ejemplo. Solo lo he admirado (bueno, me he quedado boquiabierto) a través del cristal.
• Las luces están encendidas pero no hay nadie en casa.
• Mi casa nueva. Me encantan las casas que necesitan reformas y fantaseo con ella a menudo. No recuerdo por qué había banderines en la calle ese día.
• A veces me lleva un tiempo entender cómo está construido Dudo.

Dude looks if his legs have been slotted in wrong!
That DIY house looks as if there were more doors and windows. it must be dark in there or maybe the opposite wall was opened. It’s certainly private from the street side. Maybe there’s a courtyard. Now I’m intrigued.
You survived your Cordoba August, well done.
Cats are the inventors of yoga poses.
Urspo:
Downward dog. Twisted cat.
Boud:
At either end of my new house there are big courtyard gardens with some mature trees (like those palms you see in background). There are always courtyards. There are or were probably also single story extensions to the house where you see a window or door. But there’s so much natural light in the house thanks to the missing roof.
That last photo should be titled “some assembly required”
Sillygirl:
Fortunately, Dudo is built like a transformer. Everything snaps into place automatically.
Oh, I would love that space for a home, and once finished, I would Twitserr myself into a nap like Dudo.
Bob:
That house intrigues me. I, too, wish I could twist like Dudo (without groaning in agony when I untwist).
I would buy the fan for J, he often carries folding fans, I am the one who wears silly hats to keep the sun out of my eyes. The upper floor of the house seems to be rather bright, either very large skylights, or it needs a new roof.
David:
J will be in heaven in the fan shops here. Yes, I see you notice the enormous skylight upstairs. It goes from one end to the other, only it doesn’t keep the rain out.
Dudo the contortionist.
Raybeard:
I’m so envious of Dudo. Well, also his life!
Would someone actually buy and use that fan? It is lovely but I can’t imagine anyone using it other than theater. Love the tile work.
Ellen:
Yes, that set would be purchased for a wedding or formal event.
I NEED THAT FAN!
wickedhamster:
David thought so! You would be in heaven in the fan shops here. You’d need an extra suitcase.
Dudo is an IKEA cat.
Deedles:
We should have paid IKEA to assemble him.
Nah, he’s perfect just the way he is! Ooh, I also like that purple hat! I have an outfit that would go perfectly with that thing.
All right. My heart almost exploded when I saw that fan. I am a fan girl. No, not that kind. All women of a certain age and above need desperately to have a fan within arm’s reach at all times. I have one in my purse, one in my car. Several in my home. When I was in the throes of menopause and hot flashes would overtake me, I had one special fan, made of feathers, that worked better than anything for relief. I got the fan at some sort of fund raiser with a mardi gras theme. It was a table decoration. I stole it. I am not ashamed.
In fact, that whole lavender ensemble makes me feel better, knowing that somewhere on earth there is such beauty.
Dudo. Do you suppose that when he wakes up he is momentarily unsure of how to undo his limbs?

Ms.Moon:
Dudo snaps back together in a flash. I’ll take more photos of the fans I see. There are so many artisan fans here. Just incredible. And check out this shop in Ronda: https://movingwithmitchell.com/2015/06/02/ronda-fan-dance/
I hope you got to enjoy good outside time, today 🙂 Dudo is a delight.
Thanks for the scenes about town!
Judy C:
Hours spent outside yesterday and it was glorious from morning til night. I slept until 11 today!
I’m gawking, too. And coveting.
“Rhett, you wouldn’t mind terribly much, would you, if I wear purple to the cotillion?”
Kirk:
I’ll make sure to share more of the amazing fans I see in shops here.
That fan!! Right up my street, methinks… Jx
Jon:
So many artisan shops here with stunning fans. You’d have a field day.
We went fan shopping in Seville! I just adore the beautiful artistry of the abanico establishments… Jx
Those tiles and that ironwork! I love the everyday beauty. Olivia
Olivia:
So do I. The materials used in some of the most basic homes and apartment buildings. Wow.
I am loving the fan ensemble. It calls for a mint julep, I think.
Dudo is hilarious. That is a very comfortable cat!
Steve:
I don’t catch the majority of Dudo’s wild poses. He usually snaps back into original form at the slightest sound.
Indeed, that is a good temp for walking. We have started walking in the early evening when it is cooler.
Now, THAT is a wonderful looking ‘fixer-upper’!
Jim:
Oh the fantasies I have about that house (private palace, I would assume). I walked most of yesterday and even last night. It was glorious.
The fixer upper is quite plain but beautiful xx
finlaygray:
Our first house was a fixer upper (money pit). You would think I’d be over that by now.
It sounds like I’m gonna have to fight some of your commenters for that fan. Maybe they have more than one in stock. It’s stunning… especially the color!
Kelly:
The fans in that shop are artisan and mostly one-of-a-kind. But if you get here quickly…
…it’s a cat thing.
Rade,
That it is. Oh to have that flexibility. And to be the king of everything.
