– the letter is off to the landlord, and so, unless something weird happens, i guess we’re buying a house! scary and exciting in equal measure.

– first covid nose + throat swab. unpleasant, but mercifully quick. two more to go in the next few weeks.

– stumbled on a pair of friendly egyptian goose, just going about their day at parque das nações! the thrill of spotting a new bird for the first time still hasn’t worn off.

– and we’re off to the azores! :)
