the dim pause

Watching both of the Olympic Triathlons this morning. Women’s event underway now. The swim in the Seine was interesting, with strong currents, and the road surfaces for the cycling appear to be quite slippery in places🏅

Weather yesterday was good enough for garden pizza 😄

A woman is preparing pizza dough outdoors on a floured wooden board. A freshly baked pizza topped with olives, cheese, and capers sits on another wooden board next to a jar of Mutti tomato sauce. A small table with various ingredients is in the background.

Hot and rocky! My phone kept overheating. But guided by Google Maps I walked to and found the site of:

Prehistoric T-shaped anchor, Son Xoriguer, Illes Balears, Spain

A weathered, rocky terrain with a carved T shaped deep groove. A single foot wearing a black sandal is visible at the bottom left, highlighting the uneven surface. Small patches of green plants are scattered within the rock crevices. A rocky beach coastline with clear blue water, a red inflatable boat in the shallow bay, and a small cart on the beach holding kayaks and paddleboards. In the background, there are white buildings and green trees under a clear blue sky. A sandy, narrow path flanked by low stone walls, surrounded by green shrubs and bushes under a clear blue sky. The path appears to lead towards a distant horizon with minimal vegetation. Wooden informational signboard at Cova des Pardals - Son Vell in a natural, rocky landscape. The sign includes a map, text details about the area, regulations, and symbols indicating prohibited activities. The sky is clear and blue. A rugged rocky landscape with small green plants scattered throughout. The background features low bushes and a clear blue sky.

Morning coffee in Menorca ☕️🇪🇸

A serene outdoor patio featuring a white table with a cup of coffee and a decorative ashtray on it. In the background, there is a cushioned daybed with a canopy surrounded by green artificial grass. The area is enclosed by white walls with rising sun and blue sky above.
