A PICTURE [OR TWO] IS BETTER ……ETC ETC ETC ………

If you look South from our apartment in Portugal you might see something like this.

If you go out of the front door and turn right and walk for about five minutes you might come across something like this.

Ferragudo N

The second picture is more representative of the weather.

We rent out the apartment if we aren’t there.

Please email me if interested. (Well, I’d email me if you are. He knows nothing. Lo,TG Ed)

Thank you.

[See you on Monday]

    You must overcome your fear of flying ….. I’ve been on several aeroplanes and hardly any wings have fallen off ……

    That helps …….

    daddyp replied:

    Of course there was the time an engine fell off but I thought I’d better not mention that ……..

    70steen replied:

    can I get a ferry???

    daddyp replied:

    I could suggest catching the Pride of Bilboa from Portsmouth and then driving for 15 hours but then you’d probably have to turn round almost as soon as you arrive to start the journey back …… go on, be brave, hop on a plane ……. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you ………

    70steen replied:

    mmm suddenly the big silver cigar tube tempting …

    daddyp replied:

    I do cross fingers very well …… and quite often …. tee hee

    I wanna be the estate’s concierge!

    Love the view of the schooner. The contrast of it in the background compared to the clay tiled roof is very earthy, bold, and soft at the same time.

    daddyp replied:

    I was trying to decide where it was going as I used the bins, following it over the horizon. I think it was probably Madeira …… which is Portuguese ….. [madeira BTW, is Portuguese for wood - I think]

    John replied:

    So…what’s Portuguese in Portuguese described in the English tongues? They are so many.

    Wood in my tongue is a splinter.

    fracas replied:

    Wood at the fraccy blog usually means….

    Oh, hello DP.. didn’t see you there peering over my shoulder at work… good thing I’m at a SFW blog while on ‘company’ time.

    daddyp replied:

    Of course I was peering …… I like to know exactly what my staff are up to every minute of the working day ……..

    Do you think we should form a splinter group to keep John company? Leave me a memo ……….

    John replied:

    Since everybody would disavow me…which they already do…I see no reason for us to create our own team of operatives.

    John replied:

    …or not…or something.

    It’d be hard to whistle the MI theme with a mouth full of gingernut crumbs. DP’ll have to do it every time someone gets into hairy situations.

    (when I start hearing that in my head while shaving, somebody call my doctor)

    daddyp replied:

    I’ll call your doctor ……. she sounds nice …..

    John replied:

    The one with the feather? She’s not ‘my’ doctor, which means there’d be no conflict of interest if I followed up on that. Ethics and all requires a two year wait period after the professional relationship ends.

    I think I know why she told me where she goes to church at now. (THWAPS HEAD) I have to go shave, excuse me.

    daddyp replied:

    May your god go with you ……..

    John replied:

    Being made in his image, it’s a given for people to place themselves they aspire to be like.

    John replied:

    what…is an SWF group?

    daddyp replied:

    *shrugs shoulders*

    John replied:

    (points to Lo for him to ask of her wise counsel)

    daddyp replied:

    Pointing at Lo!!!!!! ……… *ducks*

    Ooh, another place to visit…I’m always up for a holiday as you well know. Not been to Portugal for about 20 years, I must be due another trip….

    daddyp replied:

    Well you know who to contact now …… not that I’m trying to encourage your hedonistic lifestyle ……..

    Hmmm – [breaks into song]
    Ya gotta pic a picture or two – - -
    [/breaks into song]

    And those two are pretty impressive even though Fagin may disagree.

    daddyp replied:

    Fagin was a bit dippy ……..

    hmmmm…. I’ve already booked the Dordogne farmhouse for the first part of next year’s holiday but the planned Greek idyll with daisyfae is up in the air…. Portugal IS in Greece, right? Or is Greece the capital of Portugal? Where’s a blonde Miss Universe contestant so I can ask her?

    daddyp replied:

    I think that Portugal might be in Greece …… or covered in grease …….I’m not sure.

    I must say, you seem very well organised ………

    ‘our apartment in portugal’. yeah, right!
    when you started it was ‘our shed in the backyard’ and now its ‘our apartment in portugal’. whats it going to morph into next week, ‘our castle in luxembourg’ or ‘our hacienda in costa rica’?

    ummm, so anyway, how much is the rent and do the neighbors mind late parties?

    daddyp replied:

    The DP domain spreads far and wide Nooter …… sometimes as far as the end of the sofa ……..

    The rent is very reasonable and I care not one fig for the neighbours …….. so long as it isn’t us …….
