While I don’t usually go into personal details here often, I’m not quite sure how my life is going to unfold for the next few months, whether I’ll be available to blog on a regular basis like I usually do, so I decided to give a thumbs up to the folks who usually haunt this joint, just so you don’t think I’ve forsaken blogging, should I not be able to update as often.
I don’t know how much you keep up with the world’s economical status (yeah I know boring stuff) but my country (Portugal) right now is in reverse Cohen brothers mode, and is no country for young men (and women alike) and is in an overall messy state and with no plausible solution for the near future, so I’ve decided to take my chances elsewhere.
It’s a bit daunting and scary, moving to a different country with no actual prospects yet in sight, but hopefully it will be for the better!
A few pointers I must keep in mind…
Keep the magic flowing no matter what,
…be 200% commited
…with full guns blazing (metaphorically speaking of course)
…all the while being fabulously weird
…and awesomely cool
And if you’re wondering where I’m going…here’s a hint:
Yes, I know they’re on fire right now,
But tomorrow is going to be now a brand new and all better day…

Good luck with the move! It is a scary thing to move to a different country but hopefully you’ll have success in the UK. Thank you as always for sharing such wicked and awesome images and I hope you’ll be set up in a new home soon so you can return to blogging!
thanks Alex, I hope that I can get settled soon too it would be a sign things were going great :)
Embora vamos falando in “daily basis” que a web tem destas coisas… desejo-te as maiores felicidades e que encontres o que procuras e mereces… em tudo o que eu poder ajudar “count me in”!
bjs
brigada Pat :)
Wow, you are very brave! I am always inspired by your blog and love today’s post-it is poetry. I look forward to receiving more picture stories about your journey in my inbox. Good luck to you and all the best, Monica
thanks Monica :)
Good luck on your move, really enjoying your tweeting and blogging, here’s hoping you’ll find more brilliant things to do for money in that there big London :D
S
thanks Sioned, hope the city inspires me to even further tweeting and blogging :)
Sounds like an exciting move!
It’s sad, really. I spent 6 months in Portugal a few years ago, and fell in love with it, such a special place. And I’ve always wanted to move to London, but I’ve only made it to Barcelona so far!
Lots of luck – I hope you find the time and place to blog! :)

I know, it’s quite sad, because I also like my country but it’s in such a bad place economically right now, that’s hard getting a proper job. That being said, I was in Barcelona this summer and loved it, could easily see myself living there, too bad Spain is a bit unstable too right now, that’s why I ended up in London…let’s see how that goes, fingers crossed :)
Darling- best of luck to you in London…
thanx hon ;)
Good luck in England! The English are annoying as hell, but that’s part of their charm.
eh eh, thx :)
Good luck to you with the move. It has to be heartbreaking to be forced by circumstances to leave a place that you dearly love, but I am sure you will make a success of it wherever you go. Yours is my favorite blog of all time and the only one I link to on Facebook. I hope the UK is prepared for your awesomeness invasion! Thank you for all the fantastic images you have thrown my way. I have been following you since you were on Flickr. You are the best!!!!
ahhh thank you so much Laurie, you’re a real sweetheart :)
So strange, for some reason I assumed you were already in London!!
Good luck settling into my city!! …I truly think you will love it here!
Guess I already have a Londoner spirit to help me out :)
Olá ;
Sou uma visita frequente aqui pelo teu blog, embora nos últimos tempos não tanto, pq estive em locais sem net. Vi agora este post, desejo-te as maiores felicidades em Londres; tb ando a pensar fazer o mesmo, mas talvez pela Escócia, no próximo ano. Isto anda mesmo muito mal, por Portugal.
Enfim, o que queria dizer mesmo é que espero que continues com o teu blog e tumblr, pq são dos meus favoritos ;)
*** e boa sorte!
Obrigada Rita, sim isto os tempos não andam nada fáceis para nós e infelizmente não vejo luz ao fim do túnel aí.
Se resolveres vir para Londres let me know! Qualquer “amiga” do meu blog é minha amiga!
E sim espero continuar com o blog e o tumblr até pq estou numa cidade cheia de arte e museus fantásticos que espero eu me inspirem para compensar a falta do nosso sol tuga ;)
bjs!
