No surf during Lockdown,

While the surf was pumping, it was also strictly forbidden to even enter the beach. The days seem to have more hours when you do not surf. I never thought of it like this, but: Checking the forecast, getting ready, driving to te beach, sometimes check another spot, surf for about 2 hours. Get changed again, talk about your session with your surf buddies, drive back home. Stop at the supermarket for late lunch. Now it´s more like: Is it already time for lunch?

algarve skateboard — Algarve 15 minute skateboard session in the backyard. Is it already lunchtime?

Local treasures,

Of course there are a 1001 unfinished projects that a man can pick up whenever he has to much time on his hands. I painted the living, bathroom and kitchen. Planted new stuff in our veggie garden. Picked up Portuguese lessons again. Work out like a hulk. (also eat like one, lol), and we just try to see the treasures of every day.

algarve streetart — Stoked finding some Algarve street art on our way to a friend in need. (we dropped home baked cookies and oranges & lemons from the garden.)

algarve local transport. Some people actually always live with a lot of time on their hands. if you have a lot of time 45km\ph is plenty, and what if you can do it in style with one of these?

algarve local bird — Pretty sure this little guy is not much affected by the whole planet turning on a different pace by corona.

World upside down,

Normally I get a lot, well lets be honest. Normally I get a few reactions. Ok, ok: Normally I sometimes get a reaction from some of my dutch (surf) buddies. They say I´m living the dream and they are slaving their asses off with weeks of no surf in a cold brown overcrowded country.
