Delhy Tejero self portrait at the Regina Sofia
I adore this painting
It’s Monday and I’ve washed my best smalls for Madrid tomorrow( the ones without holes)
Two pairs of linen trousers two nice shirts and my best walking Dead T Shirt all packed.
It’s bloody 39 degrees
Don’t worry I’ve just paid my travel insurance
My brother in law is convalescing after his illness in Portugal and is doing well, so I’m well covered if disaster happens.
I’ve bought tickets to the Regina Sofia Museum of Art and have the tickets to the lisping Choir concert on Thursday all printed out.
The museum is opened till 9 pm so we can go when it’s cooler.
Yesterday I started my exercises the physio prescribed for my weakened arm, he states it should recover
I needed a small dumbbell but didn’t want to buy one (I am somewhat skint due to my recent sick time) so I put a post on the village what’s app group asking to loan one
Not four hours later this appeared on the kitchen wall…..
I love my village
My Madrid fantasy is when I sit down for Talia Grupo’s concert I find myself next to the King Filipe VI
Who is out for a night on his own
If only!
Ps this block print of the village Church was designed by Ma Manley and has circulated yesterday
It’s beautiful
That is a lovely print of your church. So talented.
ReplyDeleteHave a safe journey and try not to overheat 🔥 x
Enjoy your holiday. It would be nice to have your fantasy realised - he's an attractive man.
ReplyDeleteSuggest a couple more shirts because of the heat,, we just went through a heat wave like that and you will want to change more often. You do live in a fantasy world sometimes, fun isn’t it? I could go for the king too, he is a looker. Have a wonderful time and drink drink drink. Glad to hear that your brother in law is doing well now and that with therapy your arm can recover, all good news today. Gigi
ReplyDeleteHope you have the best time John, keep cool.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely friends in your village. And that weight looks enormous to me. Hope you have a wonderful trip!
ReplyDeleteSafe Travels, relax and enjoy one of the worlds great places.
ReplyDeleteYou're a brave soul to be gadding about in that kind of heat, and I know you will enjoy every moment. When I travel, my issue is shoes - I want choices! Love how your village comes thru. Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time in Madrid. The portrait is stunning, very enigmatic. I then went and read about her life. I’m curious how you came across the portrait? Have you already seen it on your previous visit? The church block print is amazing. Jean in Winnipeg
ReplyDeleteHave a safe and wonderful trip. Looking forward to reading all about it. x
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that even if King Filipe isn't there, another gorgeous man is. What kind and talented folk there are in your village. That block print would make a lovely Christmas card. Glad to hear your BIL is making progress. Have a great time - and keep hydrated! xx
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to pack your parasol; you'll need it. Give Filipe my regards, if you should bump into him!
ReplyDeleteYou will have a terrific time. Stay cool and have fun.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful trip.
ReplyDeleteHere's to Lisping Choirs, the most intriguing paintings, and beautiful men.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to have your fantasy actually happen, but somehow I doubt it. Enjoy your break anyway, and make sure you chase the shade, I cannot begin to imagine temperatures that high, I would be a puddle.
ReplyDeleteJohn , I hope your trip to Madrid is the best trip ever! Enjoy every minute! Carol in Atlanta
ReplyDeletePasa un buen verano!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting and am glad you're well prepared in every way!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to hear your BIL is improving as hoped.
Yes, you live in a wonderful and caring village. How sweet that is.
And, of course,, if only .... !
Our Z&L are flying from here to Hawaii for 10 days - free - as they will listen to a 6 hour time share sales pitch in exchange!!
Hugs!
Forgot to say how much I love Ma Manley's block print of the church across the road from your charming home.
DeleteHugs and happy travels!
Oh, my, what an adventure upcoming! Have a lovely time and let all the tensions go. You have earnt this trip, and don't you forget it!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you love your village! The perfect thing to appear on your garden wall; of course it was. (Or if in doubt, when my husband had the same weakness due to injury - a bag of sugar and/or a tin of baked beans. Have fun, sweetheart.
But, sorry to break this news to you - you may have to lower your sights slightly towards a different bloke with a beard; good luck!
Thanks for introducing Delhy Tejero to me -- I am going to feature her and her wonderful self portrait this week on my other blog, "Beautiful Woman of the Day." Have a super time in Madrid, and enjoy your holiday fling with Felipe *wink!* And I have always loved block prints -- what a beautiful one of the village church!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely time. Olivia
ReplyDeleteA charming print. I’ll text Felipe and let him know where you’ll be. ¡Buen viaje!
ReplyDeleteSafe travels! Wishing you & Ruth a marvelous trip!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your brother-in-law is doing well.
You have a habit of not drinking enough water when away - so DRINK LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER!
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Madrid and stay cool! (As cool as possible.)
ReplyDeleteI know you'll have a wonderful trip, enjoy every moment.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time in Madrid. The print is wonderful. My physical therapist suggested a kettleball for home dead lifts. Like you I don’t want to buy equipment right now. So, tried to use the cat(too squirmy), dog too heavy. However the 14lb box of cat litter is great for dead lifts
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing trip and stay hydrated. Can't wait to hear all about it.
ReplyDeleteHave a grand time John , lots ofwater and sun screen ! xx
