Hi- I like your solution to the calendar. I’ve been trying to figure out how to get a real block-type calendar and haven’t been able to get it working… but it never occurred to just go the straight-forward route and make a list… duh!!
Hi Margaret,
Errr…I have to confess the list is temporary and born out of frustration until I, “Mrs Techno muppet” can work out where to find something a little more interactive
LOL

Gazinas flower is a beauty.I love the I guess called the SUNFLOWERS; I in love with the sun.It;s my planet sign & spiritual connection.
Hi Maritza – yes they are beautiful flowers. You have the same name as my favourite Fado singer!
That’s one thing I have grown acustom to living here! Is all the cool festivals! It’s pretty neat!
Many thanks for the list – my parents live in Portugal, but this year, have got a UK diary which only lists national public holidays, and not the regional ones.
Currently working in France, so as a temporary “ex-pat” myself, I appreciate the need to know when holidays are (especially as I don’t get paid then!)
