Got through pretty quickly. Have secured a bottle of duty free white port and am now waiting for info on delayed flight. There's a bar next to the boarding gate...

Airport is rammed. Flight delayed by 1.5 hours. Which is probably a good job given how long it looks like it'll take to get through security. #flightchaos

The sun sets on a thoroughly pleasant long weekend.

For the most part, the music in bars here in Porto is fucking dreadful. #utterdross

Slight snafu at the bar meant I had to order two drinks for the minimum card payment. Thought it was a bit pricey, but it turns out it was for pints, not halves. Could get messy.

Five glasses of Port and a cheeseboard, on a table overlooking the Douro river in Porto.

I might lean into the Spanish tomorrow if I get drunk. See how it pans out.

Portuguese is so weird. I can read it a bit because it's fairly similar to Spanish. But I can't understand a word when it's spoken. It's like they've put on a funny accent so the Spanish can't understand what they're saying.

As soon as I heard the chiming, over-chorused guitar, I thought of you...

Now I'm hearing the whistles of Scorpions. Yes, it's Winds of Change. @robinturner.bsky.social would love this.

Found a microbrewery that does great beer but the music is atrocious. Bloody Walk of Life currently, FFS. Regretting having ordered food. #shiteonthestereo

Cheers, Warren. BTW, are you gonna try to get tickets for Tryouts? If so, could you nab one for me? I'm flying back from Portugal when they go on sale. Thanks and eternal gratitude in return, etc.
