Thursday 21st August 

Watercraft manoeuvres 
Up and down the waterway 
Taking all the tourists 
On adventures in the bay 
Whilst we saunter pavements 
Enjoying an outdoor lunch 
A little bit of shopping 
Nutty ice cream to crunch 

Love you so much

A fabulous place 
It's great to be back 
Sunshine to embrace

To explore about

Monday 18th August 

It's back to the beach today 
To while a few hours away 
Upon sun loungers we lay 
Watching the world at play 
Shaded from the sun's ray 
Wishing it's here we could stay 

The waves crash upon the shore 
A rhythmic and constant roar 
Kids building castles galore 
While seagulls circle and soar 
Couldn't ask for anything more 
With happiness we can ensure 

Love you so much 
Precious sons

Sunday 17th August 

Sunday sojourn 
In Santa Luzia 
A hum of life 
All around 
My son sits here 
Laughter in the air 
A rooftop bar 
Where joy is found 

Clinking bottles 
A toast to the day 
Refreshing beers 
With bubbling cheer 
The world feels slower 
Worries fade away 
In this moment 
Everything is clear 

Love you so much 
Precious sons

Saturday 16th August 

In Alte's heart 
A haven lies 
Praia Fluvial 
Nature's prize 
Near village quaint 
A mountain's space 
A stunning swimming 
Peaceful place 
Picture the view 
Where waters flow 
Reflecting the sun's 
Warm golden glow 
Crystal-clear springs 
Weaving tales of old 
Dancing with shimmer 
Bright and bold 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 15th August 

The sun ascends 
A golden eye 
On Barril Beach 
Beneath the sky 
Near Santa Luzia 
Sands so bright 
Begins a day 
Of pure delight 

There's something strange 
A sight to see 
An anchor graveyard 
Beside the sea 
Where iron giants 
Rest in peace 
Their working days 
Finding release 

Old rusted hulks 
In silent rows 
A testament 
To where time goes 
Each tells a tale 
Of salty spray 
And ships that sailed 
On another day 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 13th August 

Another scorcher today 
We gave the beach a miss 
Wandered around the mall 
The air-con was 'Chef's kiss' 
An ice cream later on 
Complete and utter bliss 
Slow and leisurely walking 
Nothing's better than this 

Love you so much 
Precious sons

Tuesday 12th August 

My lipstick melted 
Then broke in two 
It's forty degrees 
Below skies of blue 

That waxy tube 
A sorrowful sight 
A creamy dream 
Lost in the light 

When broke in two 
A crimson despair 
Ruined maquillage 
Beyond compare 

It's sweltering hot 
The sun beats high 
A sticky mess 
Just why, oh why 

Under cerulean skies 
Sultry summer's day 
My perfect pout 
Has gone astray! 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum
