Life's snot all a bed of roses.

[canalchris]

Hiya folks, Canal chris here again. ( I know, I keep popping up now and again. )

Still in Portugal, although the past couple of weeks you couldn't say "Sunny Portugal" boy it's been cold. Last week in the mountains about 10 min car ride from here it was actually snowing.🌨.

Me and Lilian are still keeping well, although I seem to have picked up a sinus problem somewhere which makes life quite uncomfortable with mucus down the back of my throat ,which irritates and then I have to try and cough up. I sound like some sort of demented old style retired army officer ,harrumphing all the time. ( at least that clears up any confusion over the title to this piece.)

Anyway just to say I hope you are all well and keeping warm. Bye for now.

Chris

Nice to hear from you and glad you're doing reasonably well. I'm in Malaga (escaping the Scottish winter for a couple of weeks) and it's sunny here, chilly in the shaded streets but warm enough to sunbathe in a sheltered corner.

[SquirrelsHolt in reply to teenieleek]

teenieleek ,I'm totally,bloomin, jealous of both of you-living it up in sunnier climates. Good for you I say and enjoy!! Keep well and Keep posting!!

Hello Chris, nice to hear you and Lilian are well and hope your sinus problem clears up soon.

We have seen all the snow in Spain and it seems you have experienced it too in Portugal, well the cold anyway.

Cold and freezing fog here so staying indoors. You take care and lots of love. Xxxxxx😀
