Whether you stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters on the picket lines, or you think it's a bloomin' nuisance that's getting in the way of your AIMA application or your travel plans, here's a module about strikes and industrial action. And of course a lovely autumn module. Who are you speaking to today? Where is the conversation going to take place, and what are you going to be saying - in Portuguese of course? Let me know in the comments 👇

It's flu and COVID shot season, starting today here in Portugal, see my blog today. If you need some vocabulary for the pharmacy, you'll find it right here. And if it's not for you, who ARE you speaking to today, where, and what are you going to say - in Portuguese? Please let us know and what help you might need 👇

Olá bom dia! Tudo bem? Maybe see you later on today in Cascais? I'll be there with Tim Richardson, talking about the forgotten hero who saved Portugal from Napoleon - Nicholas Trant - a fascinating part of Portugal's history and a chance to meet in person this evening. If you're inspired to go to a bookshop today, whilst we're talking about books, here's the module you'll need. And I've just launched a survey today, looking at reading habits, and the possibility of an expats book club - Reading Survey. *It's Monday/segunda, who are you speaking to, what are you saying, and where are you saying it today, this week?*

Olá, bom dia! Tudo bem? Had a great afternoon with Tim 'Forgetting Nicholas Trant' Richardson, the Indie not a bookshop and the Pestana Cidadela in beautiful Cascais yesterday. Bookshop owner, the lovely Francisca, has agreed to become a GMP! monthly resident guest 🤩 See my video below and check out the Cascais mission if you are fortunate enough to live there, or if you're visiting, which I thoroughly recommend 😎 You know the drill: "Who are you speaking to TODAY, where, and what are you going to say - in Portuguese?"!

Olá bom dia, tudo bem? (Please answer in the comments! 👇) Let's conclude the week with the perfect conversation starter: the weather, and topically, autumn, which appears to be upon us. Here's your autumn guide. Bom fin de semana, and see you on Monday. And don't worry if you see more 'mosquitos' than usual in Lisbon at the moment - as reported. Nothing to see (or hear!), here!
