XTreme Posted April 1, 2023 Author Share Posted April 1, 2023 Got up late today (9.30) and it's confirmed that we have the boys this afternoon.....so I won't be out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 It's raining quite heavily, which is good because I wasn't planning on going out on the bike anyway and the Portuguese forrests need it as much as possible before the fire season starts. I will spend the weekend doing basically nothing, which is what I feel like I've been doing with my time lately. Even though i've been more or less busy with work it just feels like a waste. On monday morning I've got an appointment at a bank at 9:30 right near Porto, and after that am taking off for a couple of days to then end up at Sofia's for another couple of days, and to then spend a few days the week after at my place. Maybe also go for another ride then too. Don't know where I'm pointing the bike on Monday, maybe up the Douro as that's where I'll be, it's supposed to be pretty up there now. Hope that takes me out of my bad mood. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s great satisfaction to be found in producing things (other than food) and if you have a few you can work on whatever suits your mood at any given moment.

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I dunno I find most IRL people a pain in the arse but I find a lot of things that most would find ‘oh so dull’ interesting. If someone really knows there stuff on any topic I love hearing about the tiny details that only someone in that field would know about, I once spent over three hours listening to someone talk about the intricacies of cider making, I don’t make cider, have no intention of ever making cider and everyone else was bored to tears by the painstaking minutiae, literally willing him to shut up with their stares. I thought it was fascinating. But you would never have guessed that about me wud ya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
