I’m not sure standing firm always works especially in Sudan. I was running the Verification and Monitoring Team and flew in to investigate a massacre and stood firm only to be floored by soldier with a rifle butt to the face loosing my front teeth and flying back to Nairobi a bloody mess to the aptly named dentist “the smile centre”
Standoff sounds very dramatic...having survived so much please don't fall in front of an Amazon delivery driver - the irony would be too great. I sympathise with address frustrations - we are working through immigration issues in France and my husband's birth certificate from Brazil is now lost in the Parisian postal system as the Brazil delivery side too long. Deep sigh, more money, and start again....... Loving your tales here - keep up the good work and wishing you every success, Gary D
We can certainly relate to your address issues. Google has arbitrarily mis-allocated our post code to another village within our freguesia and despite our village having a totally different name, São Domingos not Guisado it all turns into a stew! Without the honesty of understanding neighbours we would be missing many items. Can I suggest asking a question about your electricity generation on "Building, Renovation and DIY in Portugal (No Adverts)", a Facebook group with a wealth of knowledge and free advice? Probably the reduction in the UK red list has stymied that potential revenue stream.
plaint!!!!!!! I should read what I type more often. Weeding could be fun!
What a great shoot of the two of you. We definitely need to come plant some walls!
