Lies goes South (again)!

Just another WordPress.com weblog

I am the worst… 28/02/2009

… and most undisciplined blogger of the universe :)

Once again, it took me a while to write a new post.  I hope from now on, things will get better because I finally have my laptop back!  As some of you might already know, the cable of my laptop gave up on me.  For almost three months I had to use this very old (but incredibly awesome) laptop that could barely run two programs at the same time.  This didn’t really motivate me to try to get to this website, write and upload pictures.  But, now I have no more excuses!

So, what’s been going on lately…  I got addicted to Grey’s Anatomy last Christmas.  I am now watching season 3, but it’s on Chinese servers so it takes forever to load.  But it’s worth it, although I don’t understand why McSteamy has so much succes.

Fortunately, there is more to life than Grey’s Anatomy.  Mentioning this series in my blog will, by the way, boost up my visitor count.  It happend also last time when I wrote about coelho, the rabbit (not the writer).  Now it looks like I’ll have a double hit :D   Anyways, the weather here has been fabulous over the past weeks.  Untill today, but let’s just forget about today.  Untill today, it was like summer here.  Temperatures around -and above 20°C, blue skies,… I went to the beach several times and got slightely tanned.  And you know what?  It’s february!  Awesome.

I’m a bit sad that it might rain again.  Well, not sad because of the rain itself, but sad that the streets will become dangerous places to roam.  It so happens to be that portuguese people do not know how to handle an umbrella.  They swing it around and about as if they were all in some rainy musical.  We’re talking open ánd closed umbrellas here!  I mean, for the love of god: keep it vertical at all times!!  Oh and when you cross people, you can always lift it up a bit so you don’t stick someones eyes out.  Then again, maybe they do already lift up the umbrella, but since I’m a giant, that won’t help much… Yes, I’m good at dissing the portuguese people :)   But they also are really nice, sweet and helpfull people.  And they are the best at cooking fish!  I will miss the bacalhau when I’m back in Belgium.  And I will miss my Minipreço too…  Did I already mention on my blog that I will be coming home sooner?  I’ll be back for good the 4th of may instead of september.  Hurray :)

So, to make up my slow writing, I hereby leave you with some pictures of Alfama, a neighbourhood in Lisbon where I went yesterday with Stefanie, another Belgian volunteer.  Enjoy :)
