Mostly busy joyfully being alive. Rest: nudging past terror of getting it wrong.
- Went to a fab wine tasting dinner at the posh hotel and won the wine raffle! Stood up in front of a room full of Tomar's great & good to collect my prize. Most importantly, I understood the words on my raffle ticket 'cos of 5 weeks learning past tense conjugatations. Ganhou! = You won!
- I'm also learning to overcome my shyness and say hello to people I don't know; ask people I've met briefly how they and their families are; and to make a point of showing appreciation for previous times a person / a staff member has helped or been kind.
- Found this little bundle of hiss on the stairs of my apartment block. The little mite stood up and did a proper bottle brush tail - every single hair up on end. Very much "NONE SHALL PASS" vibes. But hissier.
