ROQUE WORLDWIDE

Wednsday was a stuffy day, with a train to catch at Amsterdam Central Station, a plain to get at Schiphol and a soft landing in Gatwick. Lovelly Italian diner at the Olive Garden, Southfields, with Fil Nunes.

Thursday waking up early, going to Cambridge, getting to Abington, spending the day "refreshing" and The Exame on Friday! After lunch getting the train to Gatwick, landed in Lisbon, got the car. A Fiat Punto... FUEL "EVO"... Got to Ourem arround 23:00, with my Mae waiting for me.

Saturday went to Alburitel and had a Nespresso with Marco, Patricia e Lourenco. Just before Ric's breackfast. Golega afterwards, a beautiful day with friends. The most amazing day this year!

Sunday went to Terrugem, for a Family reunion, that was amazing! All the cosins that I didn't see for so long! And the ones I didn't even knew...

Monday in Fatima the coffee with my "legal advisor", met an old friend, and got the SUN on my face, like if it was recharging my soul, and of course all of it with Agua das Pedras ;) Later Leiria, for my brand new Passport! Lisbon in the afternoon, plane departed late, landed even later in Schiphol. And Silodam by 1:00.

Tuesday WORK at 7:00.

OVER & OUT

"Time flys when you're having fun"

Já há uns tempos que por ca não passava... tenho andado ocupado e sem paciencia para postar. Hoje lembrei-me.

Estou em Portugal, a trabalhar na Central do Pego e a viver em Ourém. Noites "misticas" de magia... e dias de nada fazer, a não ser no trabalho. Ai sim, fazem-se coisas.

Fiquem bem e até mais.

OVER & OUT.

I have the great pleasure of presenting to you "The Rockster". This is the mean machine that is "spreading the Magic" arround Rotterdam since last friday. 2.7m long and 6hp... It is the meanest it can get.

Today is the Queen's birthday, the age is unknown, to me... lol It is a bank holliday. The SUN shines and my flight is booked to depart tomorrow, arround 1600, from Brussels... Long ride to the plain. A car will be waiting in Porto Airport, Fátima will be the next stop. Pinhel the second, and Ourem the third, and most probably the last of the day. Arte Café is on the "stop list".

On Saturday I'll have a Family Lunch, it will be great to be with my Family. Since Feb. that I don't see them. I do miss my Family.

On Sunday it is Mothers Day! And return day too... So, "carpe diem" and lets rock Ourem and suroundings!

Now I'll keep doing my house tiding up...

OVER & OUT.

Assim foi um Domingo, de pouco SOL, muitissimo bem passado!

PS: As fotos tiradas no estadio, de 1936, são de um camarote, VIP AREA... ainda não sei bem como, mas tanto a comida como a bebida, especialmente o vinho, eram excelentes e "complementary". lol

OVER & OUT.

Monday:
Got in to the flat, happy to move in. No more hotels! The place looked a bit empty, but... it's my new place. Got my gear on the living/dinning room, organized next day, phone calls up to date, next is diner... empty fridge, empy stomach... diner out. Where?? Not so sure... Some one calls about work, check the time 20:00. Wile on the phone go to my room, no sheets, douvet, pilows, etc.... Where is the closest IKEA?? The answer is on the web. Closing time 21:00. Got there, God save and keep in good health my GPS, and saw a massive building full of stuff. But not the stuff I wanted, piles and piles of things. 20:30 and no pilows... Finally asked one of the very few members of the STAFF and got my items, the ones to sleep in, on and under. Thank you very much. To find the car was another adventure... lol Diner could've been there, great food, so I've been told, but it closes at 21:00. Tosted baggette and apple pie for diner. Not so nice.

Tuesday:
06:00 the day began. Hot, very hot, shower. The cold tap is to cold, so lets go craizy and get it full power on the hot! lol Steam still coming out after 25 min. ... Got the engine running, and Rijnmond, here I go. 15 min. and got to the SITE. It´s a shame some musics are so petite. Had one more, very nice, day of work. The team is great. It's a shame they still don't know what beer is... lol went shopping. Some groceries, and than IKEA for, some of, the missing bits and bobs. Had porc chops and french spinach, with a deutch label...

Wednsday
06:00 as usual, shower, too hot, car, work, more shopping, organizing, calls, sleep in the coutch...

Thusrsday
Wake up on the coutch... half asleep. lol and the same as yesterday. The same.

Friday
Half asleep... and the same rotine as before, until lunch time. We went out for lunch. The team. Had a nice lunch with the guys. The sun on the window, no ruch. Really good. In the afternoon went back to "my mother's" for a beer with the "gang". Came home, downloaded a few House eps. and... this coutch is a bit graby...

Saturday
06:00... at 08:00 went again to IKEA. Had "the breakfast" and got a lamp plus a tea table. Assembled the hall thing and went out to see people, get smokes and get to know where I live. A Portuguese grocery shop and a Portuguese restaurant were the most surprising places. because whene you see my view... And than a few hours have passed, a few phone calls, a few more meals, and a lot of downloads.

Sunday
Still to come.

OVER & OUT.

Welcome to my blog, I do hope you leave comments about what you see and read here. Those will be the fuel that any blogger needs to keep going.

The reason why I've named this new blog as ROQUE WORLD WIDE is because I will be around the world for the next years, so I think... Having in consideration my previous experiences it wouldn't be as nice to have various blogs, there would be some gaps. For that reason I present you what will be my Journal. Like my life, an open book.

Let me reamind you about the comments...

Take care and read you soon.
