    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Things are very different in Coimbra. Granted, the rules have changed and become stricter today.

      We had the tapas meal and wine. All good. Had an extra glass of wine, no issue. Our meal had been cleared away for some time before we asked for another glass each. This then resulted in a minor chiding from the waiter as technically the wine should be served with food after 8pm. We said, "but we have had a meal, this is a post meal drink, does every beverage have to have food with it?". He poured but continued to state that an enforcement officer could challenge our interpretation of the rules and fine us €10k.

      In Porto, in a wine bar, we were advised that if anyone asks we should say we have just finished a meal and are now finishing the wine.

      In Lisbon, a bowl of crisps or olives was more than sufficient and only brought out when the the police drove past.

            Tonight's viewing started with the latest episode of Ambulance on iPlayer during and after dinner.

            And then the excellent Pine Barrens (TV Episode 2001), being S3E11 of The Sopranos, in which Paulie and Chris get lost in the woods while attempting to bump off a former Spetsnaz chap.

            Bin day tomorrow! And then I've got to bring them back in

            Goodnight all

                Morning all

                I appear to have upset NATTT again.
                I just get fed up with people like LondonPM coming back and doing the same tedious twaddle under a different ID.
