Yesterday we were in a campsite near Porto, and there was another motorhome there - with a registration plate I didn't recognise.
It turned out that they were from South Korea!!!
And they had travelled to Europe across Russia, via Vladivostok.
Just... wow!!!

Today, I had the best cheese toastie of my life!
(And I've had a LOT of them!)
We were in a traditional Portuguese cafe in the northern city of Braga, and it was made with local Serra da Estrela sheep cheese and sourdough bread, grilled in butter.

Why is this Labour government so bad at communications?

It doesn't really show in the previous picture but, at this time of year, the vine leaves are turning brown - making the area feel more autumnal than anywhere else I've visited.
This picture gives a better idea.

The rain stopped for a couple of hours - allowing us to have lunch by the Douro river. 👍🏼

I replied 👇🏼to the original post by @newsagents.bsky.social advertising yesterday's podcast (the one where Jon and Emily revealed their bias against trans people).
That post has been taken down (thus hiding replies such as mine), and replaced by this thread.
Will they now take *this* post down? 🤷🏼

Contender for the "Hottest PM of Europe"?
Sanchez and Macron must be worried.

I'd never heard the word 'welp' before - and had to look it up.
Is it a US term?
October 29, 2025 at 11:48 PM
Yeah.
But I faked it better than Trump.

Sans paroles.

OK, it's just a random thing - the order things appear on your timeline.
But - for a second - I thought Trump had a plan to demolish Buck House!

The moorish bastards are now triumphantly marching through our streets...

TOMMY WOZ RIGHT!
THE MUSLIMS HAVE TAKEN OVER MY TOWN! 😨
(As they do every October!)

To go and "live on the farm", obvs.
I'm sure that any post which suggests that Farage should be 'put down' - however painlessly - could break BlueSky's moderation rules.
Wonder if wishing him the same fate at Prometheus is allowed?

Other than the weather, one of the things I love about living in Spain is the ever-present possibility of stumbling across a local fiesta.
But I wasn't ready for one of my neighbours holding a line-dancing party!

As a pensioner myself, I can't help wondering if I might "have an accident" in that situation.
(I'd warn the police of my incontinence first; I'm not a monster!)
October 5, 2025 at 5:46 PM
So you didn't notice that you reposted BOTH of these?
October 2, 2025 at 11:30 PM
Hasbara Alert!
A screenshot of two posts - one from a "non-zionist Jew", the other from a Palestine supporter - both with IDENTICAL text.
They are talking about a pro-gaza protest in Manchester.
Clearly trying to paint pro-Gaza Mancunians as heartless.
Block both accounts.

I'd heard this about Farage before (that he is a Belgian resident).
So I did a quick search.
While I couldn't find an article from a professional journalist making the claim, I DID find this 👇🏼 fact check which covers most of the claims about the fascist frog.
September 24, 2025 at 6:27 PM
From what I can see, apart from the US, there's Japan, Myanmar - AND HALF OF THE EU who haven't yet recognised Palestine. 😡

Rain predicted for tomorrow.
If it arrives, it will be the first rain we've had since May.

OMG!!!
Infamous transphobe Graham Lineham is on this morning's Sky News! 🤢
September 20, 2025 at 10:34 PM
Hmm...

I was basing it on Google Translate.
