a nothing-special week, spent mostly working at home. i went back to the gym a couple of times — mostly just to cycle or walk slowly on the treadmill, to try to give the shoulder a chance to heal. i did a few days of stronger painkillers and it seems to have helped a bit, but now i have some kind of tendinitis in the other arm…? *sigh*.

designed and ordered some christmas postcards, late as is tradition. we saw bugonia in the cinema with a friend and it was so out there that i don’t know what to think of it. we also watched yesterday, which was more of a cozy evening vibe. almost done reading a letter to the luminous deep and read the little wooden robot and the log princess as well, for a bit of a break (it was sweet).

we went to altura to see the european leg of the great world race. the runners were running 7 marathons, in 7 continents, in 7 days… which sounds crazy or maybe just superhuman. portugal’s was their 5th leg after having run in antarctica, africa, australia and asia. whoa.

no pictures this week, so i checked out what we were doing in this day in previous years.

17 years ago, we were checking out a yoko ono’s retrospective exhibition in shanghai (meh).

13 years ago, we were eating chimney cakes in budapest!

11 years ago, i was looking at my messy desk in berlin:

9 years ago was a wednesday and we visited the lighthouse in vila real de s. antónio:

5 years ago, we planted our bamboo in the garden.

3 years ago, we bought a children’s book about a king who wanted to build a wall…

it’s kind of funny to look back on the archive like this. maybe i’ll turn it into a regular thing, a throwback photo post of sorts. :)
