Olá bom dia ALEGRIA! Tudo bem?

"Bom fim de semana" to you. It's a BIG weekend in Portugal, which includes:

CORRECTION: Final round of the Portuguese Football League (will decide who's Champion!)
Eurovision Final (Saturday night)
Our Good Times karaoke & disco party (Saturday night) in Sao Martinho Do Porto
Portuguese national election (Sunday) - expect coverage from me and The Portugeeza
'Giving Back' webinar with Expats Portugal (Sunday 5pm)

This morning's conversation is with 'The Coach'

@Ian Turner

, mastermind of the thoughtful and detailed fitness programme in our classroom - The 'GOD Squad' - Gentle Fitness for Bon Viveurs! I'll go back to basics this morning with Ian, asking how we might stay well whilst living well - a definite trend and matter of particular interest among many moving to and living in Portugal.

I saw two dear GuMPer community members yesterday -

@Nuno Mendes

and

@Johnny Cocktail

- two great chaps with whom the shenanigans continue! Expect a video soon from Johnny, who made a film for his cocktail project, in my town yesterday. Expect amazing things, as ever from Nuno too, who I met at the Prohibition Bar, where we launched a new segment/podcast yesterday.

Who is enjoying the new Munson's Midday Moment streams? I know I am! Thank you

@Jeannie Wells

for your question yesterday about my orientation at Óbidos, see the image attached, but pretty much facing North.

Last night's 'Premium Member’s Lounge' was especially profound with American friends sharing their distress and concerns about what's happening 'back home' and looking at how we might balance those concerns with enjoying life here, and now. It clearly helps to talk about these things.

Today's IPMA weather shows a 0% chance of rain in the district of Santarem, the next leg on our district tour, where you can experience a low of 11°C/52°F and a high of 27°C/84°F (Wow!)

Today's www.spartanfx.co.uk rates: A US$ will buy you 0.89 Euros, unchanged; a UK£ will buy you 1.19 Euros, unchanged.

Sunset tonight: 20:43!
