I was at a market type event

 While i was at the market i saw this guy. It amazed me to see someone with his belly drooping so badly. Ok it was hot but there was nobody else walking round displaying him self so badly.

 

I needed a piece of glass

 I have searched glass suppliers here in Portugal but expecting replies by email is a waste of timer. Portugal don't know how to reply to emails and i have tried often.  I tried many glass companies but got no replies.

I am going to the UK shortly and emailed companies in area i am going. Every company i tried replied within 5 hours. One reply came back with a price i am happy with so i ordered my glass. The shelf you can see in the picture is what i want but twice as long. Instead of 300mm but i now want 600mm now ordered and waiting for me.

 

I went to a new market out of my area

I recently went to a new market out of my area and it was a great day and the drive was great. The pictures give an idea of the place i was at. Most of the market was under cover so it was easy to avoid the sun but not me. I had a great spot and told people this is where i will be able to be found next market time.

The people where amazing and friendly and a lot had heard about me and my spices. One lady asked what part of Liverpool i was from. I asked why and she said Liverpool was her home before coming to Portugal. She then turned and introduced me to her two sons also from Liverpool . First time i was in the company of so many from Liverpool. I said if people ask if you are from England you must say NO. I'm from Liverpool everybody knows Liverpool

Just a couple of pictures of the small narrow streets of this beautiful village.

 Driving home Goole maps found me a shorty route for me to travel, so i am looking forward to the next market there.

It is nice to be back

 As i have said i stopped because of fowl comments from family members who i fell out with. The problem is i have one family member who is a gem and i don't include them in what i say. I am now the eldest of my sibling and perhaps i should know better and set an example but who cares.

The comments i get here are amazing there is no judgement or negative remarks just nice comments and thanks to you all/

 

16 years ago i saw ths

Yes as long ago as 16 years i was looking for that something special. I watch a house for a long time and in the end i came for a view. I met an agent at the property who tried to get me to buy he was saying that others had made offers.  He implied that i could loose the property if i was tot late to make an offer or put a deposit down on it.

This is how the property looks today only 16 years later.

Moral of the story don't let an agent rush you into a purchase. After it's only money they want you mean nothing to them.

I must admit seeing this property 16 years later i can still see what i liked about it.
