sunset storms
last night was amazing. a perfect sunset, followed after 10 minutes by a beautiful and powerful storm.
i was lucky enough to get some pictures, posted at the top of my pictures list – enjoy!!!
casa myh
ok, so yesterday we signed the promisary contract so that she cannot sell to anyone else. I also paid a 20.000 deposit to secure the sale.
by 29th , we will have made the escritoria which is when i get the deeds in my name. some other small pieces to sort out but its all over except the shouting.
the garden has a fig tree, a plum tree and a blackberry tree ( yes tree) fresh fruit all summer long.
also, a neighbour is interested in buying some of my land apparently , will meet with them later this month. wont miss a little corner, my garden is huge already, so if i can sell a little bit, i will have enough money to furnish the place top to bottom, and maybe even buy a portuguese car too……
Casa Myh
will be the name of my new house.
Myh – meaning ‘mind your head’ as all of the doors are small and i am so tall. it will be a regular thing to see me with a bruised forehead and black eyes soon. a small price to pay for a large chunk of tranquility.
so this afternoon went to tonel for a surf. huge waves but closing real quick so sat on the beach for a few hours.
the weather has changed since the rain last week, the wind is up and dare i say it, i actually felt cold on the beach today.
might have to get the wetsuit out again soon.
will check tonel again in an hour, the tide will have pushed in and might have some good waves. I laughed a lot at the grockles today, trying to surf in what was very hard conditions…..i also wonder why they would try to surf without getting any lessons first………one of lifes little mysteries i guess
Donnie Darko – have you seen this film? watched it last night and again today, i am just trying to understand what it is all about, will watch it again this week i am sure. if anyone has worked it out, please let me know – an excellent film and when it ends, your thoughts begin to try and work out what was going on! much better than a disney ‘happily ever after’ ending.
the black toe mysteries
ever since my arrival here, i have suffered the occasional black, bruised toe. until thursday , i had no idea how this was happening.
at amado, while walking along the beach ,i kicked a rock. on friday, my toe was bruised so the mystery was resolved. My only worry now is that i can kick a rock so hard to make my toe go black and not feel it at the time.
so anyway, up early today to go for a surf. just bought a couple of blocks of wax and need to wax up my stick so maybe will be here again later
the mighty amado
was host to my sunset surf tonight, a sweet little wave too
decided to go after work and headed north with lorna from the bubble.
perfect sunset.
my god, my life is perfect right now!!!!
every night a crazy sunset, bought my dream house and even have a dream woman to boot!!!! the whole nine yards baby
money transfer
tomorrow (wednesday) is D Day. money is ready to transfer from my UK account.
am i scared, no!
am i excited – no not really
but i am gagging to move into my own house again.
finally, it is going to happen.
this place is everything i wanted and dreamed about while in the uk, shortly , it will be reality
sunday night
all is well in the algarve yet again, we have the lowest risk of fires but no waves.
sandra has left for the weekend but returns next weekend and stays for a whole week.
two weeks and alex is here, followed two days later by rupert and dean and five days after than, christine arrives, will be a busy month.
maybe i will get them to help me tidy up the house a little.
