Not to mention the camping equipment...
.I didn't know wrapping things in brown paper still happened! Last time I encountered such was in Dundee in about 1982, and that was a Co-operative and the Co-op shops tended to be a bit old-fashioned.
It was very handy, though, 'cos I bought a coffee machine for my brother's birthday and the salesgirl set about wrapping it in that odd way that involves just winding paper round the thing but not covering the smaller ends of this cuboid box. There being no queue or indeed any other person in the whole shop, she happily agreed to wrap it all up completely with sellotape and stuff so I could just take it straight to the bus station and send it on its way that same day instead of taking it home then remembering to get wrapping paper etc.
On reflection, she might have thought I was a wandering weirdo nutcase 'cos she had never heard of sending stuff by bus instead of by post.
Perhaps she would have sold it for half-price just to get rid of me. Hmm, I wish I had thought of that at the time. Oh well.

Using orange paper tomorrow. I can't find 3 Meter rolls of brown paper in Portugal. Here and Austria are the only countries I have ever visited that don't sell 3 Meter rolls of brown craft paper.
This was a cheat...
Happily sketching in Praça Mayo 8, when someone handed me a business card for a local eatery, and told me my meal was paid for. You are not allowed to say no when that happens. Shrimps and some sort of sausage with rice, red peppers and lots of coriander - they like coriander here. I like coriander also.
A young couple overheard me asking someone if there are any secondhand clothes shops here. They came over and introduced themselves. Turns out they are living in a semi-legal squat with free shop and clothes exchange. I have free bed, shower and loads of clean clothes to choose from. I like Portugal very, very much. I can't really tell you enough just how friendly and honest the people are here. It happens in poorer countries, and in Andalucia. We keep free shops and open libraries in our squats in Granada.
Local eatery was great. Totally unpretentious. Good, honest, traditional food. €7.50 for menu of the day (if you have to pay). However, it was next door to the main police station. Loads of local plod in there getting fat
That is actually probably a very good indicator on value.

Yeah. Caught them and pulled their little legs off whilst they were still alive. They make a very strange noise when you do that
See my blog for the answer to the liver and kidney question. I may die.
I'm up for a sketching challenge. Going to take on this monster with a single OHP pen and sheet of orange craft paper - 3 Meters x 1 Meter. Will report back before daylight fades.
That church is about as complicated as they get. Going to stretch things out to a full 180º panoramic of the entire praça. It has a very nice, gentle vibe. Lovely square for just chilling and people watching.

Did hitler torture animals?
Finished. The guy who has agreed to buy recorded me working, so a Youtube telly thingy will come later.
These are really shit pics - sorry.
I think that is me done here. This sketch made enough cash (in the way of sale, free beer, free bed, free meal, and about €40 in drops. I think that equates to about €160 for 3 hours work) to move on. So, get the train back to where I stopped walking, and start harvesting and foraging again as I go. My gas has almost run out. I am a little suspect about where I get a new canister. I may have to take a diversion to that huge, outdoor activities and sports warehouse place on a retail park. Shit.
I am missing the Atlantic. It gives me something the heat of inland Portugal doesn't. But, Coimbra was very nice for a couple of days.

Who said anything about 'taking pleasure'? It was just something I had to do to survive

Probably not personally. But I don't think Stanley did either. I think Stanley is just desperate for an audience now the insults are on the wane.
Can't. Fucking. Wait.
