🐰 I’ve said it before, but will say it again, “where do all of these dust bunnies come from?” I vacuum in the morning, and they appear to be waiting for me again by the evening or next morning!! They are more prolific than the real thing.
Now
🏳️ I’m giving in to the third coffee of the morning.
🥱 Waking up to a quiet Sunday morning. This is so much appreciated, my big gratitude for the day. I don’t have to get in a car, navigate city traffic and load up. It was a fun two days, but happy to be home.
🥵 Phew! The temperature started at 16°C/60°F today. By 3:00pm it is forecast to be 35°C/95°F. Wilting slowly.
🧓 I'm either showing my age, or my disconnect from modern parlance…or both?This week I have had to look up a couple of acronyms that I had no idea what they stood for, but appeared to be being used quite liberally.
☕ There’s that coffee that I was looking forward to as I went to bed.
🙃 It’s one of those nights when I go to bed looking forward to tomorrow morning’s coffee.
☕ Oh dear, coffee number 4 this morning. I very rarely get this far…
🤫 I’m appreciating some quiet time this morning. Recharging and reflecting.
😮💨 I’m tired after a day of driving and exploring the coast and inland countryside, south of Alcácer do Sal down to Vila Nova de Milfontes. Some beautiful scenery, and lovely weather for it…I can feel it on my face.
🌧️ Now it's raining. The first true rain that we have had since arriving just under three weeks ago.
😶🌫️ It’s a misty morning.
🗣️ Keeping with the Portuguese practice. Three days now. My head is still close to exploding.
📱 I activated the haptic feedback for the keyboard on my phone, and am really enjoying the experience. I’d tried it once before, but it didn’t work for me then. However, after using a friend’s Android with the same feature, I revisited it, and am now appreciating the feel.
🛌 I needed that sleep.
🌅 The morning after the day before, and what a lovely day yesterday was. Thank you all who were there for a great Micro Meetup 🙏🏻
🚘 Heading up to Lisboa very soon, for a Micro Meetup afternoon.
🔔 Sitting quietly at home at the end of a long day. Tired but much achieved. The church bells sound nearby for Easter.
🪛 A busy day of putting things up in the house - shelves, lights, etc - running out to pick up items. Getting there. Order appearing out of chaos. It’ll be a long day.
🏎️ I spent this morning driving through Lisbon traffic 🤪. Outside the city now in Parço de Arcos. Rush hour traffic to manage later.
⏲️ So far I am managing the jet lag pretty well. I slept well’ish last night. Though I’ll probably be eating my words in a day or two!
🇵🇹 Bom dia Portugal.
🌞 It’s a beautiful start to the day in Northern California this morning.
🛫 On our way.
🧳 Getting ready.
🍽️ Out for dinner tonight to celebrate my step-son’s birthday.
🤕 Nurturing a headache and sniffles this morning. I could do with a a quiet Saturday, but there are things to do. I hope that this cold leaves soon.
🤧 I don’t know where this cold has come from, but I am definitely running on a half tank at the moment.
🌩️ We are being treated to the a light show on the horizon, as lightning flashes continuously. There must be quite the storm out over the Pacific Ocean.
😵💫 That was an emotionally exhausting and challenging weekend. I’m hoping to carve out a bit of space in the week ahead.
