Living off the land 100%

Plenty of people put chicken shit on their Sainsbury's 'free range' to resell at a good profit in a very organic looking, recycled box. You don't need to keep chickens to make good cash from eggs.

Most of the boxes of a half dozen local eggs I’ve seen on offer at the foot of a long farm driveway, when out and about in the countryside, undercut the supermarket prices significantly. Do these ‘plenty of people’ invest their time gently rubbing out/altering the red egg code labelling?

Where do they get the chicken shit from then?

It is painted chicken shit. The same stuff pick-pockets spray on your clothes in Barcelona. It takes all sorts.

No. They go to places like Borough Market with a bunch of recycled cartons to sell to very wise people like your good self

It is paint and bird seed mixed in a plastic squirty bottle.

yeh right. you heard it from someone in a bar i suppose

Anyway, the crab proved to be very tasty, but a bit more trouble than it was worth. The beetroot in garlic, chili and lime was fantastic. My shit will come out a funny colour. I need to remember this to avoid health paranoia panic.

I have walked about 15KM North (in the wrong direction). Might try doing a sketch to cover costs. Might not.

There is yet another Medieval market thing. It looks bloody stupid against a backdrop of crazy hotel tower blocks. Beds are very cheap. It is a shit place mind. No idea why people holiday here. Ice-cream and waffle munching wronguns mostly. The beach is huge. Too huge. The shoreline is over a Kilometer walk from the prom. You can just about make out the parasols in the distance.

Old people seem to like it here. Not sure why I am totally unmoved by the place.

May hike through the night.

Nope. I have witnessed it being made and dropped onto unwitting tourists from a height. Someone will then point out your spoiled clothes and offer to accompany you to the nearest bathrooms and help to clean you. Clean you of your wallet.

I don’t buy my eggs from there. I get them given to me by friends who have chickens or I leave money for them at the bottom of the farmer’s driveway and take a half dozen (honour system - typically they ask for £1).

yeh. you ignored mine and you walked 15km the wrong way. and that's just for starters.

you're not very good at this finding your way without a map business.

Yes. That is exactly what I would do also. But, I would probably leave a Fiver instead to cover the losses from people like you who claim honour, but most likely cycle away as quickly as you can on your €3,000 Cannondale Extreme Plus

Sea and sun to your right takes you towards Lisbon. If things look more interesting in the other direction - why not?

I am in no rush.

if that's the case - and i think it's an ex post facto excuse - then don't describe it as the wrong way

I am in no rush.

how fortunate

If they were regularly foraged then they’d not leave them out.

This is boring. I am going to go and sketch the stupid market and hotel towers

let's hope your sketches aren't foraged, eh.

Hotel Towers are totally boring. Sketch the ice cream munching old people.

Sketch organic labelling codes on some battery hen eggs?

Aye but your blood pressure will be ok.

Stanley Edwards I am going to Majorca next week and I have been asked to bring back cigarettes for a friend .... they smoke silk Cut silver in England which are basically really,really mild ...not menthol . Any idea what a Spanish equivalent brand would be?

L & M Blue I reckon. Many Tobacconists will sell silk cut but more expensive than you will get them at the airport.

Thing is, this thread would have had lots more goodwill and positive attention, if the op had said: "I'm planning on walking down the Portuguese coast, paying my way by sketching. I hope to find some interesting places off the beaten track, and sometimes I might even have to sleep outside and forage for food."

It would have got more goodwill but much less attention.
