Not so much, caught some kind of bug a week and a half ago and got high fever and weakness, not covid but it did take energy out of me. Am slowly coming around.

Thinking how long it took them to perish like that, and the stress they went through, is guaranteed to make you sad.

What a great place, love the floor tiles on the garden and fountain. It’s very cool it’s kept like tgat and open to visitors!

Down a farm’s road in the Alentejo

Nice one, Clive!

Out in southern Portugal with @Sofia Pretty day and weather today, report in a couple of days but:

A few years ago, on the Nurburgring, I got turned back for having worn out tires, which was fair enough as even though they were semi slicks, I was sliding all over the place in dry weather. Being back on road tires there was not much of a point in driving fast, so ran into a guy i used to know and he offered a couple of passenger laps in his really fast car, to which I accepted. He bailed and I could only see him getting on track, but since the track was still very empty and the early morning mist rising, I couldn't resist and took my car out for a gentle lap with my brother. Halfway through the track, on the only piece of track with a concrete wall, braked on a big oil spill and went sideways into the wall at 100 or 120kmh. Quite lucky to not hurt my brother who was on the side that went against the wall. The coincidence? That oil spill had been caused by the car I was supposed to be in as a passenger, it had just blown it's engine and dumped a lot of oil downshifting into that corner 30 seconds before.

My best friend in school was born the same day as me, and his younger brother had the same birthday as my younger brother. I always thought that was an amazing coincidence. Spent a month in Brazil when I was 19, it was a good month. There I met a few portuguese kids a similar age as me, all from my hometown ... Once in Morocco, documented in my Morocco 2016 ride report, I met the one Portuguese guy I met in Morocco, we got to be friends and travel together, he lived 25km away from my and my parents' home.

Plenty of those around here, have no opinion on them. Scratch that, I have no basis for an informed opinion but still think they’re shit

Galicia, no brits there! Plenty of rain, though…

You’re thinking dogs and cats, nobody told tou to be new age and get a hipster pet

Looks like a sweet guy.

Hope the ride helped him

Road porn!

I am not against stickers per se, but the prancing horse is a step too far

No laughing from me. Apart from the silly stickers it looks like a nice scooter, and there are plenty of Daelims and Syms around the road here that I wouldn't worry about them at all. Looks nice in white, too!

Great effort with the pictures while walking around, I appreciate that. Bet it was refreshing to go out and spend a couple of days by yourself, too. I don't think there are a lot of really high mileage water-cooled BMWs, are there? Did you find out if the guy had serious trouble in those 230000 miles?

Plenty of personality on those bikes, nice pictures!

That’s the stuff!

Someone was tortured on that chair!

Started on my favourite hill near home and went to the seaside, that you can see on the horizon on the previous picture

@yen_powell, fucking prawns looking at you? what’s about olives that gets you? Food stuff? Vegans annoy me, not vegans per se, but those annoying cunts that think you’re Hitler for wanting a burger or use some chorizo to cook you peas . Scratch that, what gets to me is that they feel entitled to share their opinions I have nothing bothering me at the moment, except my own internal shit, my head and the way it deals with life is my main problem. I might be drinking too much, and am a little annoyed at the company I work with but don’t really let it bother me anymore.

Love those names with almost no vowels Cfgmhjswds

Come on, finish the story, did he know the code to the Diana / shovel picture or not?
