I’m sitting in an Uber ride and Walking On Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves plays on the radio. My spirits immediately feel lifted. That never fails to happen with this song.
🤧 In Lisbon. My seasonal allergies are playing up. I don’t blame this occurrence on the city, rather they have been with me since last night. The wind is definitely not helping, though.

Setting the mood for a Sunday Morning…
Sunday Morning Jazz by Gillie Meyer
🥱 I slept late this morning. Very unlike me, I guess that I was tired? Having said that, I have notice that I go to bed later here in Portugal...and so tend to wake up later. However, this morning was particularly late. Not many plans today. A quieter day. Maybe the body knew that?

When a Saturday feels like a Sunday, and then I realize that Sunday is still to come. Long weekend in disguise 🥸
😶🌫️ It’s a cool, misty morning, with a beautiful freshness in the air. The sort of coolness that only comes during spring and summer, as a precursor to warmer weather later in the day.

🐰 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.

April 2023 Newsletter letter
April 2023 I write this at the end of April in a small church square, Largo de São Mamede, on the edge of the Príncipe Real area of Lisbon. Tomorrow will be the end of our forth week in Portugal, the longest period of time that I have spent in this country, and we still have five and a half weeks to go. This has been a busy month, time spent working on the house.
🏳️ 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.

I spotted a Micro.blog sticker in Lisbon today. That brought a smile to my face. 😊 @jean
We are back in Lisbon. An overnight stay. With the city only being an hour from Alcácer do Sal, it is very convenient whether we need to get things done, or a cultural visit.
We arrived yesterday, and will be leaving later today. This is a “getting things done” visit, and I am looking forward to dialing down the activity tomorrow.
I am writing this in a small church square, Largo de São, while Melissa is busy elsewhere. I feel as though I am slowly connecting the dots in Lisbon, at least in this part of the city. Since my earliest days of travel, I have enjoyed just people watching. Observing the city in action, sitting and watching what is going on, people going about their business. In it, and apart from it.
No Micro meetup on this visit.
Keeping an eye on you, in Lisbon.
🥵 Phew! The temperature started at 16°C/60°F today. By 3:00pm it is forecast to be 35°C/95°F. Wilting slowly.
