The Real 'Portuguese Way Of Life'

Rogi — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 09:22:06 +0000

For a long while I have been meaning to write a realistic description of the ‘Portuguese way of life’, as Dog knows there are enough Googlers ending up here after searching for one.

Luckily, though, I see that Lucy has beaten me to it;

“The “Portuguese way of life” is a strange myth invented by the British and the Germans and the Dutch who all come here in search of it, but that’s their problem. It’s just warmer, the fish is fresher and the beer is cheaper. Most other things, like working, laundry, washing-up, traffic jams, in-laws, sore feet, etc., are pretty similar, so get over it, you forrins.”

So there you are, if you want to know what the ‘Portuguese way of life’ is really all about, just read the paragraph above, and if that doesn’t do it for you, go read some more.

Work Is A Crime

Rogi — Wed, 03 Aug 2005 22:06:28 +0000

Isn’t being this busy in midsummer a crime? It should be…

Anyway, if you are looking for something good to read, you can always try Vitriolica. Always interesting, always beautiful illustrations, and she’s also a fellow member of the Brit ex-pat in Portugal cabal.

As for me: back soon!

How Screwed We Are… Or Are We?

Living in Portugal as a Brit expat is mostly always a lot of fun, but like anything else in life it can also have potentially serious drawbacks.

Vit, calmly and beautifully, now explains the situation.

Personally, I’m an optimist.

But panic may come later. We’ll see.

Über-illustrator and fellow member of the Brit-in-Portugal cabal, Vitriolica, is auctioning a few of her works in aid of tsunami relief. Go see, support, and spend! You just know it makes sense.

SMooSH has what must be some of the most cringe-worthy comments ever seen, on this post about his wisdom teeth. Eeep! indeed.

Ow, me arm hurts. Lisa just got her hep A. and typhoid shots. And many of us know just how that feels for a while afterwards don’t we.

Go and commiserate. I’ve suggested Marmite on toast as a cure.

SMooSH Space: Hello From The West

Rogi — Wed, 08 Oct 2003 06:43:31 +0000

”Here I am at the Stain Cafe in Downtown Victoria, B.C. I am sold on Victoria…I think I would have no reservations moving out here if the opportunity arose. First of all…no snow…that’s a fantastic bonus. Second, mountains…Love em. Third, everyone I have met so far has asked me “When are you moving out here?”.

SMooSH arrives out west, and also asks a question: “I saw an odd phenomena at the beach one night…at the waves rolled in there were a bunch of luminous sparklies glowing in the dark among them. It was odd. I am not entirely sure what causes it…Something I will have to look up. Or if anyone knows, they can tell me here.”
