I expect my NaNoWriMo writing to start a couple of days late because of heading home and settling back in. However, I do want to make a go of this. This will be my first time and I want to make use of the opportunity even if I fall short of the target. Grateful for the MB buddies

πŸ₯ƒ Resting after a day of sightseeing. That can be exhausting.

Where we are staying, just outside Siena, use to be a monastery. The bell is still tolled in the evening.

I love listening to the church bells ringing out across Florence on this Sunday morning. A sound that I remember from when I was young and living in Britain.

🍝 Decompressing after a day of travel, and meeting up with family. Florence now.

πŸ›« I’m leaving on a jet plane…thank you Portugal. See you before too long.

Apple Maps took us on a colourful route through Lisbon back to our hotel. On a narrow road (or maybe footpath) a woman in front of us turned into an alleyway with a few Euros in her hand. A man was waiting with a white powder in a clear bag. We kept walking.

😌 Relaxing after a good day of walking.

Back from my Micro Meetup with @maique. Thank you for the lovely walk, conversation and tour of your corner of Lisbon. πŸ₯°

Photo credit @maique (of course) though I’ve probably missed out on picking the best photo. 😬
