Curral das Freiras


October 25, 2023. My last full day on Madeira. I encountered this village late in the day, after turning the wrong way (it's tricky when the roads cross over each other in tunnels). I started the day going to the east coast, intending to hike out to the point, but it was too crowded. I went to a less popular lookout, then back down to the hip town of Machico. Then I crossed through the centre of the island to PR1, the trail connecting the highest peaks on Madeira, and spent some time on that. Then I continued westward through the central plateau, after which I found Curral das Freiras. https://flic.kr/p/2pfz7wb

March 22, 2024. Print by someone known as 'Ryan 100' in our room at the Brookstreet. I liked it, through it looked like it was water damaged. It was still the best art in the room. Worked through the morning, drove home at lunch (much easier!) and spent the afternoon working from home. I spent the day (as I have all week) mostly trying to get my website back online after a server move by my hosting provider toasted my full website. https://flic.kr/p/2pF332R

Dow's Lake

March 2, 2024. The frozen surface of Dow's lake with a sheen of meltwater on it. This was a view as I took an 11 km ride on my new bicycle today. First ride of the year, first ride on the new bike. The bike exceeded my expectations, and though it was cold and still icy, the ride was a great start to the year. https://flic.kr/p/2pBgiGM

March 24, 2024. Cedar waxwings, high in the treetops (where they link to hang out), spotted on our walk in Guindon Park, near Cornwall. The rest of the day was spent recovering my website. https://flic.kr/p/2pFeB2E
