The best bottle opener on the planet. I believe it was back in early September 2012 — when I celebrated being half of my Mother’s age — that I acquired the above bottle opener. At that point I spent a week on the beaches south of Lisbon doing exactly nothing. Honestly, lying on […] My chariot to Lisbon – A TAP Portugal A319, Flight TP 537. Over an hour and a half late. Before my trip to Lisbon, a few friends asked me to take notes because they are (or are thinking about) going to Lisbon.

I hope you enjoy them, especially you-Anke! […] Three afternoons on the beach wearing sunscreen has meant that I’ve avoided getting burned, but my hair is a different story. I noticed after getting back from the beach this afternoon that it’s noticeably lighter in color—a far lighter brown than I normally see when I look in the mirror. At the rate I’m going […] I spent a couple hours yesterday afternoon at the beach, and I’m happy to report that my 17,20€ sunscreen worked well: no sunburn to report today.
