It’s time to sit down in the studio and let ourselves be inspired by this backyard

Here, you really do wake up with the roosters. 

*the sound and smell of coffee in the morning *

The first to see breakfast being served are the cats in their shared loft. 
Mocas can’t bear to wait for the food to land on his plate and tries to eat it whilst it’s still in the air; when he fails, he ends up with bits of food stuck between his ears first thing in the morning. Boneca watches this spectacle with a touch of disapproval and sincerely hopes that her tin of wet food will be served to her in accordance with her usual demands. Vira-Latas hasn’t fully woken up yet and would actually prefer to sleep for a few extra minutes.
On the way between the cats’ loft and the pigeons’ coop is the henhouse. 
In the morning, there’s a knock at the door to let everyone know that the sun has risen and breakfast will be served in the courtyard. 
The first to leave are Heihei, the rooster on duty, who almost always rushes out of the house because he’s overslept and wasn’t the one to announce the sunrise. He runs out into the yard so that at least he can be the first to tell the hens that their food is ‘on the table’. 
Heihei never comes on his own, and even if he wanted to, he couldn’t, because Dwight follows him around like a shadow. 
Dwight is the guard on duty, always ready to face any threat, even though there aren’t any… He wakes up shouting at the top of his lungs that ‘he’s got everything under control’ and that the ‘perimeter is secure’, and only then does he let the impatient hens through so they can have their breakfast and start their day.
In the pigeons’ communal area – shared with the tortoises and, at certain times of the day, with Natacho – nobody causes any major stress. Breakfast is served and eaten at a leisurely pace as a family, to the sound of “Good morning, everyone!” from the neighbour next door. 
On the other hand, Cigano wakes up at his own pace and knows he’s in for a good day when the ground outside is dry; there’s no greater threat to this horse than a puddle of mud in his garden, and unfortunately this is the sort of attack that not even Dwight can protect him from.
By the time breakfast is served, the rest of Albertina’s garden is already back to its usual level of activity. 
Dwight and Heihei plan security perimeters and attack tactics against their non-existent enemies, whilst the hens take mud baths and look for the most unlikely place to lay eggs that nobody will ever find. 
By this time, the cats’ loft is already empty. Mocas is causing some sort of chaos; Boneca is giving him a disapproving look, but she’s not going to stop him either; and Vira-Latas is sleeping in the sun.

It’s time to sit down in the studio and let ourselves be inspired by this garden, the heart of our Tique.
