With Cinga’s unexpected missing act, I missed posting July’s Recipe of The Month, which usually follows after the ‘Hello [insert month]’ series. That same week, I was: Attacked by a bad cold. Trapped in a 3-hour interview (É thought that I was missing next after the cat). Rolled in and out of the house running errands. Entertained guests . . . It wasn’t exactly the most relaxing of weeks but from each event (except for the cold), I learned to see humour in unbelievably ridiculous people, celebrated silent victory in completing varying tasks, and found joy in giving. Today we are having a seafood grill lunch with friends all afternoon – can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday at the moment! I hope everyone’s having a fabulous weekend. Here are 5 Cinspirations that got me going the past week.
1. Reuniting with Cinga
{even though she wants to escape my smothering love}
2. This Portuguese breakfast in bed É curated for me
{because sugared strawberries, the real Portuguese egg tart and creamy azeitão cheese!}
3. These extraordinary tulips
{because you can’t tell, can you?}
4. This fortune cookie
{and the gangster message it brings that’s just simply spot on for anyone}
5. Dropping a surprise into the mailbox
{because sending and receiving post by mail was one of my favourite things as a child, and it still feels that way (except unfortunately, now I only receive bills)}
