Happy Independence Day! It was Portugal's on 1st. Hope you're feeling better and keeping warm.

Thank you. How do the Portuguese celebrate?

It's cold, cold, coldddddddd here. Wearing layers in front of the fire. Still cold.

I think they have parades etc. in Lisbon and maybe Porto. They have church services of thanksgiving. Mostly, they just have the day off. So far as we could see every other household was having a bonfire to get rid of autumn leaves, vine prunings, etc.(and maybe symbolic). They had a day off the week before for the general strike and there's a day off this week for a saint's day or something. Life's clearly one long celebration!

Sounds good. Life should be one long celebration really, nothing wrong with that :D

Thank you :) Longer I live abroad, the more patriotic I become... You forget all the bad things.
