To Where I Am Now

Wednesday - January 1st 2025

The ladies of the day were back but the suffering from last night's shebang in the chilly Porto streets had customers recovering in their own beds, if they managed to find home. I was cosying up to the sleep maiden as long as possible today with everything closed and the heat free indoors teetering on the edge of acceptable. I was in the chemist the other day and was talking to the lady about the cost of electricity here, and I mentioned that “the answer was blankets”, she responded with “That’s what we do”.
