🤧 Hayfever is no fun, even if I do try and put on a brave face when the attacks come.
We have just been to the supermarket and I was considering moving in permanently. The air conditioning filtered everything irritable out of the air, and for a few minutes I felt as though I was back to my normal self.
⚽ I think that the local, favourite football (soccer) team won last night? Just as I was about to go to sleep, normally a very quiet time here, car horns and fireworks started going off.

Monday May 6, 2024 Dear Friends, I realized this morning that I have been on the road now for five weeks. The time has flown by and so far it has not felt as disruptive as I thought that it might. Maybe because the time has been spent at home in Bristol, with my mother, and now another home here in Portugal. I don’t have all my accruements with me, and I miss not being able to reach for some books at times, but I also find myself quite content here.
Over the rooftops.
Taken in Sintra about a week ago. In the grounds of Biester Palace, a gem to visit to escape the crowds.
😮💨 I’m exhausted and am not entirely sure why? There was a lot of walking around Lisbon over the last couple of days for sure, and I slept well last night.
Yes, but that was sleeping off yesterday’s walking. Tonight will be an early night.

🚶♂️ It was as a joy walking through the streets of Lisbon early this morning as the world woke up. Few people around. A new day starting.

Late afternoon Lisbon light.

An old church near to Comporta, Portugal.
☔ Where did that come from? It’s raining. The sun was out a few minutes ago.

Keeping an eye on you…or not.
We watched The Deliquents last night on Apple TV. A three hour Argentinian film about a bank employee who steals from his bank and enrolls the help of a fellow employee in his plans. The film explores the narrow thinking of the two men and how they handle the unfolding situations that they create.
I found it compelling enough to watch it all, but am unsure where to place it? One reviewer said that he felt that it would become a cult classic. An art film is another category that I would place it in. Perhaps watch it if you are interested in budding cult classics, or are simply curious? 🍿
