At the end of the dog walk today

An inquisitive old fart with a camera


My first attempt at bread with a new sourdough starter was not a roaring success, so I ended up with small pieces of toast for breakfast (at noon). What more fitting to go along with them than an egg with two yolks?


It’s been many months since I’ve been to the beach – surprised to see a whole new structure built to protect the dunes.

Quite elaborately done, in fact. The first ones they did were generally a disaster. They’ve learned.
You can find my past posts about the dune boardwalks here.

New culverts on the Playa Mansa now that tourist season is over. I only knew there was a problem from walking the dog on the beach there once in the past year.
Note the raging surf. Quite amazing to have no waves when the closest landfall looking this direction is over 3,000 kilometers away.

It was like a summer day today – little kids on swings in the nearby park with no shirts. But it’s clear and noticeably cooling. It will probably be quite cold tomorrow when the workers arrive at 0700 (which is why the car is parked outside).

They’re everywhere….

Our cochera gets a new maintenance-free roof tomorrow. And it’s earth-friendly, because nothing says “ecology” like a product that’s 99% expanded polystyrene.

That piece of firewood.
