F has a friend who lives nearby, at the top of a building, near the top of the hill behind our apartment. I went there a lot last year when F was helping friend try to develop some garden in the courtyard at the back.
Friend has a cat called Neme. Sometimes when Friend is away, F goes and checks on Neme. She pretends she is just going out for walk but I can tell when she gets back that Neme has been trying to do cuddles all over her.
Last week she took some photos of the evening light 'from the top'. You can see Aegina, Agistri, Salamina, and Methana on the Peloponnese in the background. Port of Piraeus is way round on the right (out of sight). Our place is left and down a bit (a lot) - as in: we face South, this place looks West.

these photos give me a better undrstanding of all the things you tell us about seen from your donkey travels. no wonder there is so much noise... this is a big city, we live in a town with flat streets and not but maybe 10 tall buildings, apartments are only 3 stories high or even 2... nothng like this. just flat streets short buildings and zillions of cars and no way to walk to shopping. only driving
ReplyDeleteYup 5 or 6 storeys is about standard here and narrow streets, ..... and zillions of cars.
DeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteYes, that is quite the view right enough... but I do hope F makes up for canoodling another cat by bringing you the treats and tickles you deserve, Tigger!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
F says that if we were still in UK I would be working as a visiting cat for people in nursing homes and the like. When we go along wirh Donkey I make people happy and lots of people pet me. So I let F make some other catz happy too. xxx Mr T
DeleteLight on the sea - as it was here today - one of the most calming of views... This evening I simply sat ands watched the horizon for half an hour.... counting boats.
ReplyDeleteTrying to catch up on blogs after a long time away. It has been a difficult few weeks here with loss of Jane's mum and still a funeral to navigate next week - I might get back to blogging after that, but for now, just visiting a few old favourites.
We guessed you might be working through bereavement. We send you kind thoughts and recognition of the hollow empty spaces that take a while to be incorporated into the fabric of our lives. They never seem to fill, they just become part of the pattern - like familiar curtains.
DeleteSpectacular views all I see is our paddock and the paddock across the road
ReplyDeleteNothing like yours
Love the name of neme. Clever
Neme is tortoiseshell with a face that is half dark and half light, for Friend named her for the ancient goddess (whose role in the pantheon was not the 'nemesis' we think of today).
DeleteSounds a bit like a folk story - over the bridge that goes over a stream to get to the hillside😊
ReplyDeleteI would really like a view such as that but I’d get fed up looking at housing below with a little bit of sea, seeing only the pieces I didn’t enjoy instead of being pleased with that I did. So would spend my time at ground (sea) level as much as possible even though the view wouldn’t be there. Daft I know it
