december’s adventures!
the last month of the year saw a little bit of everything, including cozy nights by the fireplace (or in bed, pumped with pain meds), but also getting out and meeting friends and family over the christmas time. on christmas eve, my 3 year-old cousin maria got a clothes drying rack from santa, and you wouldn’t believe how incredibly excited she was about it! :D
november was a month of resuming routines, of walking, of meeting new babies and old friends, of preparing for the months ahead…
october was the month we spent away, half in berlin and half in south tyrol, and it was glorious! i missed traveling, i missed our friends, and i missed walking and autumn and all the tasty food you can’t find here.
words fail me… it was bliss.
ah, september! the summer starts to wind down slowly as kids return to school, and the algarve is left to its own.
the mediterranean diet fair took place, and we saw bits of it, including a few concerts. and then we packed and took the train north, to help with family stuff. there was chefs on fire — a neat outdoor event in which we filled our bellies with nice food, hung out with friends and saw concerts. also, the house painting started, and i came south to oversee its beginning but then quickly went back north again. all in all, a good month, with lots of music, friends & family… and lots of getting sick on trains, my new speciality *sigh*.
it’s been awhile since i posted these videos… i haven’t stopped filming them, but life has been a bit too chaotic. so let’s recap august!
the peak of summer saw lots of construction on the house, beach trips with friends and their babies, local fairs, a trip to seville, movie nights, some concerts, and time with the parents. not bad! :)
