Blue Mondays

Formentera, March 2022

The seagull behind me struggles and suffers from a broken wing. As she gets a little closer, she stands still like a statue when photographed. Maybe sensing, it will be one of the last pictures taken of her? How long will she be able to survive like this?

Stefano and I go swimming in the cold mediterranean almost every other day, as long as it’s not too windy. We both limp with the same leg and have big trouble in balance. Hugging each other is not that easy if we can‘t find something to hold on, otherwise we‘d fall.

Here we are, two middle aged disabled people, limping into the sunset together and having a hell a lot of fun. No drama, no discussions. Just easiness, laughs and lots of love. We have nothing to loose but our good mood. Lucky us! Because after weeks of nonstop travel and work, time has come to relax and enjoy “il dolce far niente”.

Really need to start learning Italian sooner or later, as heading off towards my sweetheart‘s hometown Genova in a couple of days!
