Yarn’s here

Haul baby 

Fin

Finished my scarf 
Looks like a flag 
Now I'm waiting for a bunch of yarn I've ordered online. They're all recycled cotton yarns and I want to make a lovely throw for the couch, not least because I get to practise lots of stitches and understand this art better.

Also

Who me ? 
Lying in bed 
Unwinding after a long day
Anesthésia can make one woozy and I'm better now but I don't feel like staying vertical cuz then I start fixing the house and cleaning. I want to lie down for a bit. 
Yes, everything's fine 
I'm well 
All is good 
💓 

Ugh

Hospital gown chic
Today I have a minor intervention as the gynaecologist calls it. Fingers crossed 🤞
Do I look stressed? I am. I hate hospitals.

Un or une

I do not know the gender of a 'brookie'
And so I ordered une brookie, to which the seller immediately responded oui, un brookie. I should just ask for two of everything.
Je voudrais deux brookie !!

I mean okay

I watched avatar and I don't think they need to make another sequel, not least because it's always the same story repeating itself. Someone's trying to prove themselves, fighting enemies, getting doubted, while being treated as outsiders, but everyone comes together etc etc.
This movie was one hour too long.

Hair pull

There's this tiniest drop of delicious romance in 'talonsister' and it's so good.
Ah I'm fretting over it, I'm crying. Argh I need love in my life.
Why do I have an animated statue? Where's the maniac desire, the flush of love, the passionate hug, the never ending kiss, the dewy eyes, the strong arms around my flesh??

Why do I have to do everything for myself ??? 😭

Stuff

I ran out of yarn and so it's going to be a two tone scarf. 
Have ordered a dozen yarns for a project blanket which I will commence once the yarns reach me. 
Portugal trip is done and I sit in my warm living room surrounded my little blobs of fur who're  only too happy we are back. 
I have a vlog to edit which I will start maybe tomorrow. 
Other than that, wow it's freezing here. Portugal was pleasant when sunny and cold when raining but here, it's icy! The moment I got off the flight I was hit by an icicle of teething wind and my feet have not warmed since .
Perhaps tonight I shan't sleep in my slip of a night dress and maybe wear a tee on top. 
Apparently last night the overzealous babes were so happy to see us they made it a point to sleep on the bed, so much so that I was hanging out of the covers and spent my night cold on my left side as my duvet was all but encroached.

Thorny

It's a garden of cacti on a rooftop

Heh

Apparently this is a popular wine company. I bought a port wine from them.

Anything can be art

I have a new found admiration and adoration for

By a Portuense Poetess about Lisbon

😹

Saw this on a castle And laughed for one minute

Lil tings

I love this Portuguese sweet called salame de chocolate. It's like chocolate something with bits of biscuits?

Sighs

Nighttime and the heart aches


For you

Oh I get it

When people said 'Royal coach' they meant these babies

A bit of stuff

These are olives 
Olive trees are the most common trees here, growing everywhere you look , however you can't just pluck an olive and plonk it in your mouth cuz they taste like earwax. A natural défense against birds etc. These need to be brined to taste how they usually taste. But seeing a million olives fallen to the roads, crushed under foot and tyre made me feel sad. 
Also I have quit eating 🐙 octopus.

It’s raining and I’m drunk

Just outed myself right now by singing the 'glo friends' song which people then made fun of me for it, saying I watched toddler shite.
I don't know why I know of glo friends but I remember watching them in Goa.

Ola

I am
In my room
After a huge dinner which was delicious
It's not even 20:00
Most shops are shut
It's the lean season you see
It rained a bit and it's windy out
I'm drinking wine
Eating chips even though I had a large dinner
I'm happy

Who me? 
Walking around cliffs and staring at ocean

Going it

Who me? 
Going island hopping 
And you?

Skeletor

A chapel made of human bones

And here.

I have thoughts

Who me?
Drinking tea
Thinking of ways to finish the few mushrooms still lingering in the fridge before I leave
Feeling sad about putting Nemo in a cat boarding house, etc

I finished my small cat blanket yesterday.
Pictures to follow
And I'm sad that won't be able to crochet when I'm in Portugal? Why? Will I be busy?
Should I take some material with me?
Should I crochet on the flight?
Or should I just keep at my hook which I feel like I don't know when to put down?

For some reason I have packed my bathing suit knowing well that it will not be warm enough to dunk myself in the ocean but my lord my first stay (Faro) is in a seaside villa and it is only logical that I at the very least try to let the waves wash over? No?

Right then.
I've things to do before I fuck off
