Suppose there's no denying where my allegiance lay prior to my first Mac. Tux guarding my favourite game of the time.

Found two of my old Nokia phones in the loft; the 8110 'banana phone' and the 7110 with slide/WAP. They were so cool!

Visiting Leeds Castle today. So many people, but the sun keeps popping out.

Walked around the beautiful Palácio National da Pena this morning, then the Castelo dos Mouros. Relaxing now.

Visited Lisbon's Mosteiro dos Jerónimos this morning. This is a photo of the cloister. What an amazing building!

Today we're taking the 220km/h Alfa Pendular train to Lisbon, where we'll spend the next three nights.

Nowhere opens Sunday. Tried bacalhau (salted cod) at the only place we found.

Arrived at our hotel in Porto. It's a castle, and we've got a tower suite with 270-degree views! Can see the sea too.

The Toto washlet, with its spray and heated seat, has been very much missed since leaving Japan. 

I particularly liked the image of a man trying to create a seated snow figure on the bench; and the fact that in both photographs, the British flag provides almost all of the colour, in otherwise very white scenes.

Dad would have loved it, and been out with his camera.
