I'm still enjoying some free days (bank holiday!) and trying to make the most of them. We've been running errands everyday and feeling like tourists in the city, as we had not had a proper urban life for more than a year (still have not!). Anyway, I've always avoided crowds, but sometimes I forget that we used to walk and move through the streets without doing the 'covid shuffle'. Hoping that this is not going to be necessary soon. Distancing and masks are still compulsory here, even if many people are embracing the 'new normality', and embracing each other too. Not me. You can call me squeamish.
Next week I'll try to catch up with your blogs and comments!. I've missed it!
Sigo teniendo unos días libres, de vacaciones locales, e intento aprovecharlas todo lo posible. Hemos estado ocupados, haciendo recados cada día, y sintiéndonos como turistas en nuestra propia ciudad, porque hace más de un año que no hacemos vida urbana de verdad (seguimos sin hacerla, en realidad). De todos modos, siempre he evitado las multitudes, pero a veces se me olvida que solíamos caminar y movernos por la calle sin toda la coreografía de mantener las distancias. Espero que esto no sea necesario muy pronto. Sigue siendo obligatoria la mascarilla y demás precauciones, aunque mucha gente se está lanzando ya a la 'nueva normalidad' y unos en los brazos de otros. No es mi caso. Podéis llamarme maniática.
En la próxima semana intentaré ponerme al día con los blogs y comentarios. ¡Lo he echado de menos!.

That sounds like a wonderful break being a tourist in your own town, especially when the town is as lovely as yours.
ResponderEliminarTow lovely sunny outfits, I love the big yellow basket, i think one of those is missing from my life and it might be 8am but it's warm and sunny here and I'm already envying your ice cold beer!
We're supposed to be abandoning social distancing on 21st June and returmning to some kind of normal but I can't see that happening for a while yet! xxx
Thank you, dear Vix, I think this is a lovely town too, even if it's not truly appreciated by most people who live here.
EliminarA yellow basket is totally our kind of neutral bag!, it goes with everything!
I've watched in the news that the 21st June date has been postponed, so sorry!. We're also craving some kind of normal life!

Playing tourists in your own town is a wonderful way to spend a couple of days off, especially as it has been such a long time since you were able to enjoy city life. We'll be socially distancing and abstaining from hugging for quite a while yet, I presume. I'm still doing the "Covid shuffle", although a lot of people just do not take notice any longer. I'm loving both of your colourful Summer outfits, in particular the first one, with its pattern mixing of stripes and florals. How gorgeous is that top made from a second hand dress. You have given me an idea or two! Besos xxx
ResponderEliminarI'm missing city life actually, urbanite as I am!. Obviously, many people are not distancing anymore (some of them never did it!), but I try to keep ourselves safe.
EliminarAnd dressing up, even for a walk in the Parks, is keeping my mood up!

We've been under a stay at home order since April and things are finally going to start opening up this weekend - I can't wait to do something that feels "normal" like browsing in a used bookstore, or sitting on a patio with a friend. I have only had one vaccine so until I get my second I will still be masking up when I am inside or around a large group of people.
ResponderEliminarWe've been in an on-off lockdown, sometimes the whole country, other times only our region, and it has been an emotional rollercoaster, as you can imagine. So I'm taking it easy and living everyday as it comes!. I'm missing so much to have visitors at home, family and Friends!

An urban break is a lovely way to spend your free time. I'm so glad things are getting back to normal for you, too. Loved the outfits, accessories and you look so pretty in pink!

Thanks, Verónica, I'm also glad that things are getting back to normal. I'd like all we could improve ourselves and our lifestyle after this pandemia, hoping for the best!
Eliminarlove the home-made tropical trousers with the rainbow top and bright cardi! and of cause you had to wear bright pink head to toe - its gorgeous on you!
ResponderEliminarlast weekend we sat at a restaurant front and had delicious italian food (me calamaris in a yummy tomato sauce) and drank aperol sprizz - lovely and exiting after such a long lockdown..........

Glad that you could enjoy some italian food at a restaurant!, this is an Event!. And I'm a huge fan of aperol sprizz (and calamari!)

Yes, no hugging for me either! It's good that you're able to get out and enjoy your city again though.
