Chit-Chat & Today’s Photo … Surf at Porto Moniz
TODAY’S PHOTO : Thanks to Eiryl … the surf at Porto Moniz
I was having a nice day yesterday, with a trip to the gym and a very nice free massage to follow. The masseur said to me at the end that she would give me 30% discount off the price list if came again, so there’s food for thought. Then I had the rather attractive prospect of a bit of a do in town, a ‘Super Bock’ promotion, later in the evening. But then I came home from the massage to find out that Uncle Bertie is being pressured to serve another 4 years as President of Madeira, until 2015. Perhaps I am going to have to build that darn grassy knoll myself.
I see Modelo started a 50% sale yesterday, for those who have the loyalty card at least, where the sale savings are accumulated. €3 a kilo for cheese can’t be bad, and €1.85 for a bottle of virgin olive oil also catches the eye. The leaflet through the letter box was half the usual size, so I reckon Modelo are cutting back on their price cut backs during this period of general cut backs.

Der, thanks for info re Modelo sale.
As regards the other matter, we have a nice grassy knoll here……5 p.m. on Monday would be a good time!
And the weather is hot hot hot!
Jon, Gaula.
1There is a flat bit in our village which could use a grassy knoll with a gnome.
2The trick would be in luring the right politician to the village.
You can have as many shots as you like with a blunderbuss!
