I know, i know its been a while, its hard to gtet yourself motivated to do this blog but i need to see the bigger picture as in i would like to keep this blog as a reminder of my time in Lisbon. My lack of 'blogging' has been due to my increase of working, i have been working long hours to get projects done but as per usual as soon as one is done ill want to do something different. The work is going ok and feel i should have it under control. On Thursday a lot of the house went to Cinco Joses bar for his birthday which i hadnt planned on going to but ended up having a fun time. He recommended me a passionfruit margarita after a conversation we had about drinks the other weekend and it was so nice, dangerously drinkable though i felt they went a little over the top on the salt but i didnt stop me from having a second. We had a shot which Jose paid for which i was a bit hestitant as I did not want to get drunk but again it was pleasant and very drinkable. I ended uo staying till one or two o clock though in Portuguese times is not that late.

I have been going crazy with all the door slamming in this house its ridiculous why cant people just close them gently, i know that the wind catches them but still learn to close them manually and leave them on the catch so there is not the constantly noise. Last night there was another Casa Marvao party, this one for Minttus birthday, the first half was a dinner spread which was tasty and then it gradually became more of a party as more and more people arrived. I retreated to my room for a while as I felt a bit on show for lack of better words. But later on I returned and did have an enjoyable time chatting and drinking with friends, the best part was getting the whole house (besides the new Ukranian but he doesnt really socialise with us) for a group photo which ill need to get a copy of as it would be a nice momento. I think today will be a bit of a chilled out Sunday, i have a few decisions to make whether to keep the language course up or not, I want to but my work has to prioritise and thus i havent really thrown myself into the language, i hope to go for it in the last couple of weeks once my work is complete. I hope its not so long till my next entry.
