Sunday August 30, 2020
I got up to walk the dogs this morning and surprise....., little NeNe was all excited to come along.  I am always so happy when my little fighter comes out with his battered little body and gives it his all.  He is an inspiration.
The morning was really dull and cloudy with intermittent rain.  I went in with a few cinnamon rolls to join Wolf and David to watch the Belgian Grand Prix of Formula One.  The 1-2-3 start of Hamilton, Bottas and Verstappen resulted in the identical 1-2-3 finish.  The race was very boring and ultimately the ending was much the same as the beginning except for a wild crash that littered the course causing a yellow flag that really should have been a red flag.  Making drivers navigate through sharp debris on those thin tires was an absolutely irresponsible decision.  The Ferrari team had a disastrous day and were not a factor at all.  Hats off to the Mercedes team who is the creme de la creme of F1....
Then I had to run home to pick up Cristina to bring her back to Adiela's in Tulua for a 1/2 hour to visit with her Mom, Sister and Nieces.  I brought along Turi to keep me company as I waited outside.
We still have the 3 puppies.  One of these 3 girls is a real character and shows up in the most surprising places.  One is more laid back and the other one is ill.  Cristina is nursing the sickly one slowly back to health.
In the afternoon the clouds finally gave way to some sunshine.  The temp is a wonderful 27C as I write this.  I wish every day followed the same pattern.
My Edmonton buddy, Tony House, sent me the following video that is not far from the truth about how I deal with social-distancing problems.... lol.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.

And they're off...

The line-up changed little overall

Messy crash

Note the tires coming off both cars

Lots of dangerous debris

Only a yellow flag was raised... idiots!

Both drivers are unscathed

That is a tribute to the safety precautions in F1 now

Ferrari struggled

Look at the speeds...

Other teams using older Ferrari engines are doing better

Not much change from the start

Hamilton cruises home on really bad tires

A classic Hamilton wire-to-wire finish

How winners look in 2020

1-2-3

This is a commodity and people transport to surrounding towns

Turi is my faithful companion

Tom Thumb came to perform today

Happily chattering that this is his territory

Never-ending chatter...


My handsome little guy

Multi-coloured rosebud has burst open

Peach rose is opening nicely

Looking forward to harvesting our first plantains

Tom Thumb is back

So iridescent

Note the damned wasp again

The wasp annoys Tom

One of the puppies is an extrovert

Grigi doesn't know what to think of her

Our dogs are very accepting

Who can resist such cuteness?
