Today’s doors, all taken this month in Piran, come with some sort of view, be it of the sea, of the town below, through the arch, or in a reflection.
Welcome to join me on a stroll through Piran with the views I get on my dog walks. And the doors, the doors are always here somewhere.
In seven hours or so I’ll put on my Pearl Jam “Don’t Give Up” shirt and walk with mother for some 15 minutes to the sold-out Stožice Arena, where Slovenian national basketball team with Luka Dončić and Goran Dragić (who returns to the national team five years after he was the MVP of the 2017 Euro Championship which Slovenia won without a loss) is playing against Croatia for a spot in the World Cup next year.
This will be my first Luka sighting. Everybody who has been following my cheerleading on this blog since February or so will know how much this means to me. I wish you a most excellent day too, and the month of July which starts tomorrow.














For Thursday Doors challenge hosted by Dan at No Facilities

These are great doors. Are the doors in the protective wall into guard rooms or something else?

Thank you, Roberta. 🙂 I’m pretty sure people live behind most of these doors. Not many guards nor much danger nowadays…

Thank you, Janet. Oh yes, we’ve been following the Tour and saw that magnificent win by Pogi (as Pogačar is nicknamed) a couple of days ago. I still can’t quite believe what Slovenia, such a tiny country, has been achieving in cycling in the last few years. I’m glad that our guys have your attention too. 🙂 All well, to them and to you.

Thank you, Sunra Nina. 🙂 Quite, the purpose of the door itself! That’s a title!! To what – we shall see. I’m not feeling very creative lately and haven’t written a line for more than a month. Slovenian greatest poem Tomaž Šalamun has a book of poetry entitled The Purpose of a Cloak (I saw this title in English also as The Purpose of a Cape and The Use of a Cloak, and if you ever come across any of these – pounce). (By the way – I sent you an email, have you seen it?)
