"Curiosamente", governo de Sócrates também teve uma greve geral.

Segundo dados disponíveis 2000-2023, Portugal é dos países que faz menos greve

Fiz parte de um painel de avaliação do #WikiLovesEarth2025 e no fim recebi da @wikimedia.es.web.brid.gy esta surpresa. Usei logo a caneca para chá enquanto lia sobre Gaskell na Wikipedia España 😍

Para quem está a discutir o projecto de lei a achar que é sobre as burcas, ver as imagens.
Lembram-se das pessoas que usam máscara para não serem identificadas por um governo numa manifestação contra esse governo?

Captura de ecrã com o texto: ○ atual Governo quer que a duração máxima dos contratos a prazo aumente de 2 para 3 anos (maior precariedade), que ser-se jovem ou desempregado de longa duração passe a ser justificação para contratar a prazo, os contratos de muito curta duração sejam alargados a todos os setores, que seja mais fácil que o empregador recuse o pedido de teletrabalho e que seja mais fácil despedir. Captura de ecrã com o texto: nível de emprego. Pelo contrário, observando outros países da União Europeia, verifica-se que aqueles onde os contratos coletivos têm maior peso são, precisamente, os que registam salários e produtividade mais elevados. Outro argumento falacioso é o de que a flexibilidade gera um aumento automático da produtividade e, consequentemente, dos salários. Na realidade, a evidência aponta no sentido oposto: a elevada rotatividade de trabalhadores gera ineficiência insegurança e desperdiça o conhecimento acumulado. Além disso, ao longo deste

#MurderEveryMonday forest or woods in the cover
A still life composition features three paperback books and a potted plant, all resting on a doily atop a wooden surface. The plant, located on the left side of the image, is a green leafy variety in a ceramic pot. To the right of the plant are three books arranged side-by-side. The book on the left is titled "Portrait of a Murder" with the subtitle "A Christmas Crime Story" and states "British Library Crime Classics." The middle book is titled "Serpents in Eden" with the subtitle "Countryside Crimes" and also states "British Library Crime Classics." The book on the right is titled "Murder on Christmas Eve".

Reminder to save your seeds.
(But if you find them in the wild, be sure to take only a few and leave plenty for them to germinate next year) 🌱

The surprise was #Acanthus ! I forgot I took seeds to see if I could maintain them in a vase.

Beware if you plant them on the ground, it'll be difficult to take them out, any bit of root you leave will germinate again🌱

I do love the #WilliamMorris wallpaper:

My #MurderEveryMonday (roads and highways on the cover) gets a road, a road sign on the cover, and road on the title, the title was translated as Road to Death.
The original title is Mystery Miles. Didn't read this one yet.

I've been reading and re-reading #AgathaChristie since I was little and if I didn't read everything by her, I must be close enough.
Happy 135th birthday! 😍

Well, this is embarrassing. I had a person sitting at a desk (or table) for #MurderEveryMonday, and then he went and got killed. Murderers have no respect for this hashtag, so I hope he got caught quickly! 😂

For #MurderEveryMonday indoor lighting/lamp on crime fiction covers I'm hoping this oil lamp counts.

The title is An Impersonator of Sherlock Holmes by Maria O'Neill (1873-1932).

Around a week away and the wild strawberries dried up. Didn't give up, started to water them, and they came back. Now it was time to cut the dried leaves. These are in a vase (if you have a balcony or windowsill, you can grow your own).

For #MurderEveryMonday title related to burglary and theft, I'm sharing Murder in the Mews because it contains the short story «The Incredible Theft» (was the first I thought about).

It rained during the night (just a little bit)! And although not cold (as in Autumn), no heathwaves 😍
After loving Landscape, I stayed with Fair and took Bramton Wick @deanstreet.bsky.social to the steps under the lemon tree, with a cup of coffee for some reading.
