Campinos are hard working men (from Ribatejo, Portugal) that work the cattle in the fields, also called Lezirias. My village has an annual traditional festival, in which they show the traditional ways of rounding up the cattle.
This was my good deed for the day.
I was coming home after enjoying the after lunch coffee when I heard a cat “meowing” like crazy. At first I didn’t understood where it was coming from, but after a while it became clear that the cry for help came from the bottom of an abandoned well.
Using some of the available tools (boards and tubes that were covering the well) didn’t help to rescue the drowning kitten, so, I had to run home for a bucket and some cord. After a while, with the help of a passing neighbor, the little kitten was inside the bucket and free from the sludgy depth. The kitten was in miserable shape after that forced “swimming lesson”, at it seemed more like a ball of tar and sludge than any living thing.
After a quick wash in warn water and some serious shivering, the kitten was still scared but much better looking. And, because this story ends with a happy ending, “Lucky” is now the newest family member.
Let me start by saying “I need a vacation”.
That being said, today’s thought goes to my obvious lack of concentration. I suspect that not being on vacation for six months in a row is the major cause of sensing some difficulty in concentrating. And worst of all, this is becoming evident for the people around me. This week, several events have brought that to my attention. Dramatically…
I’ve never considered myself stupid, but this week:
I need to go on Vacation, soon…
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but withthe previous entry on this blog the ongoing focus was shifted. Well, that was intentional and I hope to continue that way.
This doesn’t mean that there won’t be more computer related topics discussed here. The only difference is that there won’t be only computer related topics. More than a computer geek, I’m also a family man, a [very, very, very] amateur photographer, an assumed autodidact with interests in a lot of other subjects.
Hope you continue to enjoy my random ramblings.
