Think I'll be in bed by 8.00

For some reason. I'm really really tired and the thought of watching rubbish on the tv does nowt.

I'll read a book for a couple of minutes, then zonkeroono

Ho beck we now have gales sleet and sunshine never made it to the harbour area far to windy just went into m/s and then came home

Same here Saundra.

Blue skies one minute, then the wind gets up to gale force and the clouds roll in and drop a mix of rain and sleet, then as quick as it arrived it is gone and we're back to blue sky.

Just had a lovely long phone call from my uncle (Dad's brother).
He's one of those people who is completely ageless, effortless to chat to, always entertaining, funny and affectionate, a real pleasure to have in my life

Sat in the bar yesterday and were treated to some fado

A friends husband is in his late 70's and was a professional fado singer in Lisbon for years.

He just felt like singing yesterday, so we were all treated to some fantastic singing.

He apologised afterwards, as he said his voice wasn't as strong as it had been, but it sounded good to me.

What a treat

[JanB]

A very pleasant interlude.

We have almost run out of red wine - the cheapo stuff, anyway - so we thought, let's go down to the bar.

Dimas and Alberto were there, as was (smelly) Jose and the other Jose. Antonio was there with his wife, in walked our neighbours, Jose and Maria. Jose Antonio, Heldar, Rui and 3 others were having dinner.

Jose and the other Jose got out the dominos and Dimas can't rsist ribbing them

Sadly, that woman was there and dear me, that voice.

But a couple of glasses of wine later, we came out and it was raining

[saundra]

Ho heck is it really so cold I'm freezing here heating up raining black as night

It's been dry and bright here Saundra, but bitterly cold!
Chicken, noodle and vegetable soup in the Instant Pot for us tonight!
