If there is a movie buff in the family, it is my wife. I enjoy watching a good film, but my wife, loves movies and the movie industry. So when she heard that the Tribeca Film Festival would be holding a two day event in Lisbon while we were in Portugal, it became an immediate fixture on our calendar. Yesterday - Friday, 18th October - was to be the day that we attended.
🥱 Almost without fail, I wake up later in Portugal, sleep longer.

I love stepping from the noise and hustle of the street, into the silence and calm of a bookshop. This evening it was Livraria da Travessa.
Where we spent a good part of today, here in Lisbon.
As my wife just said to me as she frantically mopped up a potential stain after spilling a drink on the couch,
“I’m pleased that I did it and not you.”
Me too! 😉
🚿 Well I didn’t ask for that, but I got a proper drenching getting out of the car. It was like being in a car wash. Water from all sides and a river rushing down the road to clean my shoes!

🌧️ There has been a Severe Weather Warning hovering over us since this morning, and now it appears to have arrived. With that said, the severity of that warning is changing rapidly. The forecast thunderstorms have currently disappeared and it now looks as though we’ll have moderate rainfall into the night. Though even there it is now no longer lasting until the early hours.
I’ll take my weather app as a guide, and my gazing to the skies as the more accurate assessment of current conditions, and what might be coming.

Peppers for sale in Mercardo do Livramento, Setúbal.
Always worth a visit, though warmer days than today are better recommended. This was taken over the weekend.
👋 Olá Lisboa. Olá Príncipe Real.
In Lisbon for the day with Maui friends. Saying goodbye to them tonight as they head home.

View over the River Sado, Alcácer do Sal on a windy evening.
Well we arrived in Alcácer do Sal late at night yesterday, and it turned out to be the last day of a weekend festival. Alcácer does festivals well.
Cars crawled to the venue, also on the route to our house.
The festival is the Feira Nova De Outubro 2024. I am not clear what it was celebrating, but there were markets, food stalls a plenty and music. Even well into the third and final night of the festival, it was busy.
Olá Portugal 🇵🇹
Watching a fly climbing up the inside of a window of the airplane that I am on, oblivious of the fact (I assume!), that it is about to depart England.
A quiet Sunday morning in an overcast Britain. I’m moving on today and I’m sad about that.
