Thank you! X-ray done but I still have to figure out my back! 😅

Thanks, Natalie! 😍

Thank you, Sergio!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Hi Nick! Haha - I guess there are no organic fish products... but the book you recently read sounds interesting! Thanks for letting me know - I'll have to look into it. I love sushi, too, and I'm good with reading about human drama. And yes - the water here is cold! I hardly ever go in it. 😅🤣😂 But I do love a beach and ocean view!🥰 I love that your best friend's son is learning Portuguese! It is such a difficult language but it incredible if you can master it and speak. I'm jealous of my son Jax who speaks fluently! Have a wonderful day! 😍

You're so kind, Sergio! Thank you! Have a wonderful day! 😍🥰

Wow - cool, Nick! I'll have to check out W. African drum music! 🤩

Haha! That's funny about the Latin mass but congrats on your Latin prowess! I took Latin in high school so I am so impressed! 🤩

@@nouglyduckling That is amazing, that you elected to take Latin. Why did you choose it, if I may ask? Did you enjoy it? Do you still benefit from the learning techniques it requires? I had a huge argument about it with my dad when I had to choose senior school subjects. He only wanted me to do it so I could study law or medicine, I didn't object to it per se [he, he - had to slip that in], but I wanted to put some other elective as first choice to avoid distasteful other electives I really did not want to do [german, art or music]. I lost that battle with my dad, but ended up avoiding the terrible trio above. Latin was hard work - it took 50% of my homework prep time, but after 2 years it kind of gelled - and the next 3 years were easier. I did such a great senior year project on Vesuvius, wrote lots of it in Lingua Latina - got 99% I think for it - still have that full mini thesis to this day. There's lots more to my Latin Legacy - another chat though.

Hi Sergio! Yes I really like to purchase from the small sellers when I have the opportunity. Not sure if it is always true, but I feel that the produce is healthier and better. 🥬😅 Have a wonderful week! 🥰

That's so cool about being an early fan! 🤩I need to check out The Warning! Do you have a favorite song of theirs?

@@nouglyduckling I absolutely do - and you know the amazing coincidence, their latest release of it arrived in my notifications about 30 minutes ago. I listened through their full concert at Teatro Metroplitan (try that when you have over an hour to listen to it carefully) very early on after I discovered them, and the song Money (their own original) struck me as better than any cover they have done, and far better than the super group Pink Floyd's landmark album, Dark Side of the Moon. so here's tonight's notification to me The Warning uploaded: The Warning - MONEY (Live from Pepsi Center CDMX) 49 minutes ago ua-cam.com/video/jtNVfDb8C5o/v-deo.html&pp=wgIGCgQQAhgB

@@NR_Home-Videos Wow! Talented group of young ladies. They're a little too rock for me 😅 but I appreciate their talent! 🤩

@@nouglyduckling It'll grow on you. They have some acoustic sets that are brilliant. Just remember that Elvis 70 years ago, the Beatles 60 years ago, were also regarded as brash and raucous impetuous youth too 🤣

@@NR_Home-Videos OK! 😅🤣😂

Hi Nick! Yes - I had read that the building style was inspired by Neo-classical/Moorish influences.

I don't know what kind of pass I got - I think it was a day pass. It cost £20 and during semi-finals! 🤩

@@nouglyduckling Wonderful experience for you, Tennis is a unique sport in that at any level you play you enjoy it as much as you do watching the pro's. There were some international ladies comps here last year, very good to watch them on just the common man's courts at the local university. Can you play at all? Oh yes, when I was in Philippines I played badminton with the local club a few nights - I was quite a good player back home, but wow, their average players were so much better than I was - like their national sport.

Hi Nick! I love that you are watching my videos while doing your work! 😍🥰😅 Thank you!!! These Paris Olympics were amazing, right? So many incredible athletes stepped out in the forefront. Leon Marchand was a superstar - wow! Of course my favorite (besides Evy Leibfarth who we actually watched win the bronze) was Carlos Yulo!

​@@nouglyduckling Sorry - I did not get back to finish my hanging comments yesterdat, work called louder than Trish 🤣🤣 Of course it was Leon Marchand, couldn't get his first name. I just fed my direct comment text to an AI with no other explanation, exactly as I posted here, and the AI knew exactly what I needed: It sounds like you're referring to two prominent swimmers: Leon Marchand from France and Summer McIntosh from Canada. You watched very different events, so lucky you could see a US medal. I've only been to one Olympics event live - baseball in fact, as I played at the time. It's an experience, the train trip tere, the massive crowds, the buying of mementoes (still have my Olympics sweatshirt). So LA 2028 : I must test the waters regarding staying with my penfriend who lives in LA near the yacht club so to see if I can stay with them for a week or so. Maybe see you there 😁

Thanks, Nick! Actually, most people speak English here, especially in the Algarve! I have some Expat friends who don't know any Portuguese and have lived here for 15+ years! As for me, I actually took a Portuguese language class and passed to the A2 level (if interested, I have a video about it on my channel). I am barely conversational but it does help me get by and I like to at least attempt to speak with the Portuguese in their native language (even though I am not the best). Most appreciate the attempt and are kind about it. 🙏 My son Jax is of course, fluent. Ahhh to start language learning when you are young! 🤩

@@nouglyduckling Interesting that it's a little English-speaking enclave. Tell me, is it US or UK spelling 🤣? I'd bet the UK-expats are dominant. But not to speak any Porra is a bit reverse-xenophobic don't you think? Well done on getting your A2 language proficiency rating, good work Trish. But then you did do Latin I read (that must surely help - and not knowing any Spanish to confuse with the very similar Portuguese can only help too), will talk about that in that post.

Haha! Gusto ko pero ang iniintindi ko lang. Kakaunti lang ang pagsasalita ko 🤷‍♀🤦‍♀😫

I'm sorry - next time I have to remember not to record in a loud restaurant. 🤦‍♀🤦‍♀

Thanks! 😍 And agree - we really love Bretagne - such a beautiful and authentic area! 🇫🇷❤️

Thanks for clarifying, Ricard. 👍 I get what you're saying.

Hello! Have a great day! 😀

Thanks for the suggestion.

Happy Sunday, Sergio! Oh no! I didn't hear about the mass shooting in Alabama - that is so terrible. 😩😫 It does make it even more attractive to stay here, a noticeably safer environment and a great place for kids to grow up. (PS - I have to remember not to do do videos in restaurants that are blasting loud background music.) Have a great week! 😍🤩

You're welcome! 😍

Oh I will! I don't know who he is but will have to ask for him! 🤩

Isn’t that incredible? Gotta love the Algarve! 🇵🇭🇺🇸🇸🇪🇫🇷🇵🇹❤️

Thank you, Sergio!! 🥰🥰 You have the most positive comments! Yes - Jax really does love traveling and seeing new places! 😅

You should try and go sometime, though! Tavira is the cutest little town! 😍

@@nouglyduckling Next time I visit I will.

@@nouglyduckling What is rent like there?

@@i0r-r-tjtkttl It depends on what you're looking for but prices can range from 700€/mo+ for a 1 bedroom to €1200/mo+ for a 2 bedroom.

@@nouglyduckling thanks!

Thank you! 😍🥳

Merci beaucoup ! J'adore Paris ! 😍😍😍

You are so right! We often take the train or bus to Lisbon! It really is so convenient and you don't have to deal with the hassle of Lisbon parking. Thanks for the tip reminder!! 🤩

Thank you! 🥰 It really was! It is so wonderful that we can celebrate 50 years of Portugal's independence! 🤩

Sorry, but we didn't celebrate 50 years of independence. We celebrated 50 years of liberation from a autocratic regime. Portugal is independent since 1140, with a interregnum of 60 years between 1580 to 1640, where the country was in personnal union with the Spanish crown.

Thank you, Emanuel, for clarifying! I appreciate it. 🤩

Yes of course! I just sent it to you! Good luck! 🤩

Ahh Sergio! I hear you and think about that - hope I'm not spoiling Jax too much! 😅 You are right - many Parisians left to avoid the chaos so the city was downright quiet. Thank you for your thoughtful comments - I so appreciate it!!! Have a wonderful day! Bom fim de Semana! 🥰🥰

Thank you! You made my day! 😘 So glad you enjoyed it! ❤

You should go next year! 🤩

Hi Sergio! I just looked it up. Generally, most states require cars to be inspected at least once per year, but this varies from state to state. So weird because I don’t remember ever doing a car inspection in the US! 😅 But here in Portugal we’ve gone every year because our Prius is older than 8 years old. 😭

@@nouglyduckling Hi Tricia, after posting the comment I googled it and it seems car inspection in the US is cheaper but is nothing like in the EU (as you know by now). Nobody likes going for the test as it often means repairs but without them some would drive with no breaks / used tyres, etc.

@@SERGIO-cr6uy That's true! I hardly ever see any cars broken down on the side of the street here in Portugal so I guess that's a good thing. Off to the mechanic I go! 😅🤣

@@nouglyduckling Breaking down cars have mostly engine issues, car inspections don't check that. It's mostly safety (breaks, tires, lights..) & polution check. But for everyone's safety on the road & pedestrians, it's a good thing cars are checked and people forced to get the issue repaired. Since you have a car, why don't you guys do a trip to Séville, Spain ? 2h30 from Albufeira by car

@@SERGIO-cr6uy Oh yes - we know! We love Sevilla!! 😍 We lived there for the 1st summer we were here because we were priced out of the Algarve! 😅

Give that lady a break, go scam our own kind.

Do people fall for it?

I get messages like this all the time! 😅

@@nouglyduckling You're a smart person, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't fall for that but some might.

@@SERGIO-cr6uy Thanks, Sergio! I'm just seeing this comment now! 🥰

Oooh!! Obrigada pela sugestão, João - Eu vou! Tenha um dia maravilhoso! 😍

Yes - we stayed at The Poet's Inn, which is very central. It was a very cute hostel/inn and so easy to walk everywhere. We got a room that had a private bathroom and the staff was incredibly helpful and courteous. I would stay there again!

Oh lucky you!! 🤩 I've never spent that much time there. I would love to do that - I absolutely love Porto and yes, the Douro is beautiful! 😍

@@nouglyduckling Yes, it was amazing, to spend evenings with a view of Douro.

@@i0r-r-tjtkttl I can imagine! 😍 I think the Douro is just spectacular - more picturesque than Napa or Sonoma! 🤩🤩

Hi Sergio! I'm sure you can do this - especially if the artisans are actually present and you can explain exactly what you want! 😍

@@nouglyduckling I wasn't thinking about getting something personalised by the artisan himself but doing the decorating ourselves. Wouldn't you prefer a plate decorated by Jax than a professional? That would definitely have more sentimental value. So yeah, that would be nice if that place offered that possibly.

@@SERGIO-cr6uy That's funny you mention that because I would really like to take a pottery class and do that exact same thing! 🤩 I don't know of any around but will need to do some research.

@@nouglyduckling well good luck finding something! I had a quick check on Google: A 3 hrs workshop (in English) for 2 priced at 230€, what a nonsense. Hopefully you'll find something of a better value than that rip off.

So true! 🥰 I am happy when Jax is happy! My actual name is Tricia (not Patricia) and many people call me Trish. Jax is my son's actual name, too. I wanted a unique name for him! 🤩

So fascinating! Thank you for sharing this info! I had no idea about the Bond influence! 🤩I read different reports about Livraria Lello's influence on Harry Potter but one thing is for certain, they are taking advantage of the JK Rowling rumor - Harry Potter is very much on display and there are many sections dedicated just to the books in the store. 😅 And yes... I cannot believe we have been here almost 6 years - an adventure year abroad has turned into us into practically full-fledged Portuguese residents! 🤣😂😍

Nobody's gonna pay for your nonsense advices on FB. Stop spamming small channels with the idea to scam them. UA-cam should study your case & ban you.

It is a beautiful store! 🤩😍

@@nouglyduckling Wow wonderful video. All the videos on your channel are fantastic. But your video views are lower. Because your optimization is very poor. Your optimization needs to improve as soon as possible.,,,....

@@mdrifatkhan749 STOP spamming small channels trying to sell some crap. What you do is a scam.

@@mdrifatkhan749 let me guess you want to sell visibility to small YT channels? And you expect people to fall for that scam?

@@mdrifatkhan749 do people fall for that scam?

Concordo com você. Quando entrei pela primeira vez, fiquei tão impressionado porque havia tantas pessoas. 🤪 Mas com o tempo, me acostumei e consegui realmente apreciar a beleza da loja. Eles têm horários de ingressos para limitar o número de pessoas permitidas por vez, mas talvez devessem tentar restringir o número ainda mais.

Ooh! Please let me know the Goa restaurants! I've never had Goa food. I'd love to try! Thank you for letting me know... and yes, I highly recommend Mr. Lin's! 😍

@@nouglyduckling These three are great and I ate there;:Zuari, Cantinho da Paz, Tentações de Goa; Cantinho da Paz has amazing curry and very reasonable so is Zuri; both very small family run retsuarants; Cantinho da Paz is a Mozambique Indian restaurant and they have amazing lamb curry; let us know how you like them.

@@i0r-r-tjtkttl Oh wow!!! Thank you sooo much for these suggestions - I will absolutely let you know when I'm back up in Lisbon and have given them a try! Thank you! 🤤🤤
