No this is not a post about how one’s stress/urge incontinence is managed beyond the onboard toilet – still haven’t added the SheWee to the equipment set – but I want to note the simple pleasures that I on many occasions actually verbalise to myself given that I’m travelling solo for the most part. It is becoming abit of an unconscious habit, which can be somewhat embarrassing in the toilet block or when washing up. Anyway – have realised that that’s obviously a role that the blog gives – ie a willing listener, so here’s my starter for 10 paean of praise:
So fortunate – am I really doing this?
Have to pinch myself to say that yes, I am living in beautiful weather, in beautiful locations, and for example here on Cabanas campsite, with access to great showers, site swimming pool, lovely beach 1km down the road, restaurants and shops there, cheap trains along the Algarve coast 0.5 kms away, lovely Tavira a cycle ride away, wifi which supports Champions League streaming. Yes it could be seen as living on a carpark, but for 8.82eu per day – the cost of the cheapest car parking in Leeds, I’ll take it. Plus one of the shrubs in my little garden is blossoming. Into my 3rd day here – perhaps move along tomorrow or day after further along the coast.
The beautiful flowers and trees and in combination with the buildings
Getting up and just putting a tee-shirt and shorts on because it’s warm enough
Bacon butty and coffee Not eating very much meat these days, but still hanker after this plus the odd quality porky pie, or well-done sausage; this is my first bacon in almost 2 months; what could be better
