Is this a good idea?! This week I will be comparing life in Italy with my life in Portugal ... food, drink, coffee, cakes, the people etc Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, have a great day and week...

Thanks to Duncan, on this morning's show 😍 🙏

Apparently there are only THREE home inspectors (of a high and rigorous standard) in Portugal! Me & @Ben Austin spoke to one of them last week on the 'Find Your Home in Portugal' show, now added to my contacts list, which all paid members have access to. (Thank you for your support btw 😘)

Even after 8 years in Portugal (we celebrated last Friday), I still hesitated as I stepped up to the WC in the restaurant. Some years ago I ended up in the IKEA women's toilet, misunderstanding the 'S' (or 'M') on the door, and I will never forget the look on the ladies' faces, as a I emerged from a stall, having entered an empty 'casa de banho'. There's confusion, and there's old habits too. Like nearly getting into the WRONG side of the car to drive, only yesterday, even after all these years of driving in Portugal. Learning a new language and adjusting to the culture is a gradual process! We need to stretch ourselves AND be kind to ourselves, as we adjust and settle in. Here's something that might help with a bit of a giggle (AND here's a little help in the CLASSROOM, if you want to push yourself and make your Portuguese POP!)
