A micro Micro Meetup with @maique. The meetup was “micro” because it was short, 5 or 10 minutes, at the end of the day before we headed off for the evening. Still I am very pleased that we squeezed it in and made it happen. Thank you Maique, it was great to see you again.
🍔 I needed that lunch. The jitters were setting in.

Happy Valentines Day from Alcácer do Sal.
After reading this post by Amit Gawande, I recognized in what Amit wrote an increasing truth for me when I am writing blog posts. If I catch myself using the general “you” or “we”, I stop myself and rephrase the post as “I…”. I’ve decided that I want to own for myself what I am talking about. As Amit says, does what I am writing hold true for me?
I went to bed last night feeling so good about what I had accomplished over the last few days. That was soon turned on its head as I woke up in the middle of the night feeling queasy.
My diagnosis is food poisoning. I can’t think what else it could be. I’ll spare sharing details here, though jumping out of bed multiple times to a cold bathroom did not help the experience. Apart from feeling a little weak and hungry (…and reticent about food), I have no symptoms this morning. Though I am moving slowly. Today’s plans have been laid to rest, or at least edited.

I’m was grateful today for a packet of Miso soup that my wife had slipped into my bag just before I set off for Europe a week and a half ago. It hit the right spot late in the afternoon as I took a break from a(nother) day of cleaning up, and moving boxes. I haven’t been far these last three days, but I am seeing some results from my efforts.
Open the windows and let some fresh air in, or keep them closed and keep the heating on? ~ One of life’s conundrums. 🤔
☀️ Blessings for the sun this morning. It might not be the warmest sun, but it is the sun in a blue sky.

🚗 I landed in Portugal last night. This morning I am heading out on roads that I know, from a previous visit, but don’t know. Always brings up anxiety in me. …Breathe…

Apple history - the shop window of a computer repair shop in Bristol.
Sunrise over Bristol this morning, a cold morning.
We had good Ramen here, take away. My mother’s first Ramen and she thoroughly enjoyed it.
Crocuses under a beach tree. The Downs, Bristol.
🥶 There’s a frost outside this morning. Food tops are white, grass is white and crispy. I haven’t seen this in a few years.

Still a little way to go, but Spring is starting to make an appearance.
