Music, travelling, good weather

Yes, the week had everything. Even a cancelled flight. The week started in Porto. It was my first time there and I really liked it. There’s a certain vibe to cities that have a beach, some calm that comes from the sea.

Work is going well. Nothing major to update there. Some coding, some admin, meetings. The usual. You know, that’s how life goes once we are adults. Of course being an adult come with its perks. Ice cream at 10 am, why not?

Anyway, after the work detour. The week came with time spent outside, not only while travelling, but also at home. Last Thursday I attended a concert of The Fried Seven with Andrew Oliver, a great jazz performance in an intimate setup.

Finally, the weekend had some time outside, went to a food festival and plant shopping for the balcony. It was a round week.
