Re: Rain in Tavira

Didn't you have three months of rain, from 22 December until 22 February, 10 years ago? We did in Fuzeta.

Re: SNS Experience

Here in Ourique, we have similar problems, making an appointment.

However, they have a system whereby you either turn up at 8.00 in the morning or ring at that time and you can - hopefully - get...

Re: First doctors appointment

You would have thought we had it, Red Eric, as some-one was supposed to sort all of that out for us when we first moved here.

But looking at our residençia cards, there is a x where the SS number...

Re: First doctors appointment

Well, no problem at all.

I don't have a social security number and wasn't made to pay for the appointment.

Maybe I'll wait until I hear something from an official source.

Re: uk expat communities.

We live not too far from Macliam now, but for 10 years, we lived in the East Algarve. Loved it, though we were the first English in the village and had to pick up more of the language pretty quick....

Re: Floor tile cleaning

We bought a Karcher SC2. Similar to a vacuum.

Re: Lemsip

I just move to another bedroom, rather than smothering him - but love your advice Lorna.

Hot toddy, cheapo rubbish whiskey from Aldi, local honey, brown sugar and you forget all about the coughing...

Re: property insurance

It was Victoria.

But when we had a break-in, it was apparently, our fault, for not having net curtains on the windows and the shutter open, as the thieves could see what we had.

Re: property insurance

We have only claimed once and it was paid, no quibble and in the bank within a week.

Re: Algarve locations

As the prices in the Algarve are now at silly price, why not look just a little further inland? We bought three acres, with a move in house for a lot less than we'd pay in the Algarve.

Just over...

Re: Batten down the hatches

Re: Batten down the hatches

We left the East Algarve at 9.30 this morning, and had no problem getting home. Looked ominous a few times, but once we were home, the heavens opened and we have tables and chairs blown over, had to...

Re: Covid Booster 2023

Looks like we'll be waiting for the phone call or text.

Not a chemist in Ourique is listed and only one in Castro Verde, which will, no doubt, already have a full list.

Re: how's your temperature?

Here near Ourique, we were very hot for a couple of days, hitting 40C. Yesterday was "only" 35C. The nights are cool, so the house is staying reasonably cool inside too.

According to IPMA, we...
