Today I took a monthly pass at a gym here in Ponta Delgada, it was inevitable in view of all the food and alcohol that I am submitting myself too:) I have been drinking at all meals and the food is just so good!!!
Just as an example of the food extravaganza... the first two days of my stay back home, one neighbour brought rice pudding, Azores Style, My mother is cooking all the stuff I love, my sisters are sending me daily gifts of home cooked food... I am eating like its my last meal... I missed it all!!! :)
As a consequence I decided to at least sign up for a monthly pass at a gym, its done, now! I need to go everyday, except weekends... Hopefully I can meet someone hot also, to make my stay here a bit more pleasurable :) Eye Candy Is essential at any Gym!!!

Holiday in the Azores!
As you all know I am portuguese but from the Azores Islands, and to be more precise, from Sao Miguel Island.
I have landed back home 2 days ago and will be staying for 4 weeks with my parents, I have not visited for 2 years and have a young niece which is also my Goddaughter in the eyes of the Lord! She is a sweet thing and looks just like my younger sister, her mother, although the neighbours say she looks just like me... but all my nieces and nephews look just like me according to the neighbours :).
It is good to be back home and it comes at a good time when I am going through some though moments and having to take some tough decisions in my life, personally and professionally.
I come to the Azores after having spent about 6 months in Dubai, where I went to find a job in the art world, following some encouraging prospects relayed to me by my contacts there. The truth is that nothing happened there on the job front, a lot of promisses and a lot of fluff job offers did not amount to a real job so I come to this holiday a bit disappointed that my Dubai project did not happen as I hoped...
In Portugal people say that when God closes a window, he opens a door, and that is more or less what has happened in Dubai, just about when I was ready to quit and pack up and return to London, I received a prospect of a job offer in Doha, after some visits to Qatar the prospect materialised into a verbal job offer that I accepted. I am now in the process of waiting to receive the proper offer and contract to decide when to move to Doha, what I hope will happen start of October.
The Azores is a beautiful place to rest, and God knows I need a rest, I need a recalibration of forces and energies before I decide finally if I am returning to Doha or to London!
This first post is just to give you all the background of why I am in the Azores now, and I will try and be disciplined enough to write here everyday about some aspect of my stay here. I can only hope that someone will be interested enough to read about it and maybe even comment, either here or through the facebook link!
For now that is it!
